Israel shells Deir Seryan, detonates houses in Taybe, Haddatha

Heavy Israeli artillery shelling targeted the outskirts of the southern town of Deir Seryan Monday, despite a trilateral framework agreement signed by Lebanon and Israel under U.S. sponsorship on Friday to pave the way for peace and disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Also on Monday, an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade onto Ebel el-Saqi and Israeli forces detonated overnight several residential buildings in the border villages of Taybe and Haddatha.

On Sunday, the Israeli army said it destroyed an extensive tunnel in Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon. It also carried out several strikes, including on the southern city of Nabatieh.

In response to the attacks on Sunday, Hezbollah said it "reiterates that what the enemy has done is a blatant violation of the ceasefire to which it has adhered until now, and that it is monitoring and tracking these violations, and reserves its right to defend its homeland and its people".
