Israeli shelling targets villages in Lebanon

Israeli forces have launched artillery shelling targeting villages in southern Lebanon, marking a new escalation in cross-border hostilities. The shelling comes amid ongoing Israeli operations to establish a buffer zone and recent ceasefire violations in the region. This development follows a series of incidents, including a Hezbollah explosive device killing an IDF soldier and Israeli demolitions in Bint Jbeil, highlighting the fragile security situation. The shelling underscores the persistent risk of broader conflict between Israel and Hezbollah along the Lebanon-Israel border.
