(Central News Agency Beirut/Washington, 15th Comprehensive Foreign News Report) As Israeli and Lebanese envoys held the second day of peace talks in Washington, the Israeli army launched a new wave of air strikes in southern Lebanon today, saying that the target was the militant organization Hezbollah, and Hezbollah launched a fleet of drones to attack the Israeli military camp. Although the war between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah has reached a ceasefire since April 17, the conflict has not stopped. The two sides have killed hundreds of people due to military operations and accused each other of violating the agreement. The United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Lebanon, Imran Riza, condemned the “unacceptable” casualties caused by the continued attacks and emphasized that “diplomatic efforts now provide a critical opportunity to bring an end to the violence.” An Israeli military statement stated that “the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have begun strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in the Tire region of southern Lebanon.” An AFP reporter reported that there were multiple air strikes in the area, two of which occurred near the city of Tire. State media said another attack targeted a center run by a local NGO near a hospital. The Lebanese Ministry of Health stated that the air strike in the Tire area injured at least 37 people, including 6 medical staff, 9 women and 4 children. The Israeli army has issued evacuation warnings to five towns and villages in southern Lebanon, and later issued new evacuation orders covering five other towns and villages in the south. Hezbollah said today it launched a fleet of attack drones against an Israeli military camp near Nahariya in northern Israel.
