Israeli forces have launched fresh airstrikes and carried out other military raids across southern Lebanon, targeting several areas in the country's south despite a US-sponsored framework agreement.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported on Saturday that the attacks targeted the districts of Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil and Marjayoun, with Israeli aircraft and drones operating over several towns.
In Nabatieh district, Israeli warplanes struck an area between Nabatieh al-Fawqa and Kfar Tebnit. Another airstrike hit the outskirts of Baraachit in Bint Jbeil district, according to the agency.
In Marjayoun district, Israeli forces carried out an explosion in Tallousa, while a drone flew at low altitude over nearby communities.
Israeli troops also fired machine guns from the direction of Khiam toward agricultural areas in Ibl al-Saqi.
Separately, warplanes struck an area between Adshit al-Qusayr and Taybeh, the NNA reported.
Israeli drones were also seen flying at low altitude over Tyre and surrounding areas, reaching both sides of the Litani River near Qasmiyeh.
Continued drone activity was also reported over Beirut's southern suburbs from early Saturday.
The attacks followed military and technical discussions between Lebanese and Israeli representatives held in Tampa, Florida, on October 20 and 21 under US sponsorship.
The meetings concluded without a publicly announced breakthrough or joint statement. Reports said the two sides had agreed to continue negotiations, although major differences remained, particularly over Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the disarmament of the resistance movement Hezbollah.
The latest raids came despite the US-brokered framework agreement signed by Lebanon and Israel in June.
The proposed arrangement calls for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and Hezbollah’s disarmament before the withdrawal is completed.
However, Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out airstrikes in southern Lebanon and maintain control over Lebanese territory. Some areas have been under Israeli occupation for years, while others were seized during the latest war.
Hezbollah has vowed to drive Israeli occupation forces out of southern Lebanon, warning the Lebanese government that yielding to US demands would endanger the country and undermine its sovereignty
According to Lebanon's Health Ministry, Israeli attacks since March 2 have killed at least 4,386 people and wounded 12,407 others. More than one million people have also been displaced.
