BEIRUT, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Ten people, including a young girl, were injured in Israeli airstrikes overnight on Sunday on southern and eastern Lebanon, according to a statement issued Monday by the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

"The Israeli enemy's airstrike on the town of Borj Rahal in the Tyre district, located in the western sector of southern Lebanon, resulted in nine civilians being injured," the statement said.

"Another Israeli airstrike on the town of al-Zarariyeh severely injured a young girl, requiring her admission to intensive care," it added.

According to official and security sources in Lebanon, Israeli warplanes launched around 20 airstrikes overnight targeting wide areas in the east and south of the country, focusing on alleged Hezbollah sites.

Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) said the development "constitutes a new violation of UN resolutions and adds to the series of repeated Israeli breaches in the south."

It added that the Lebanese army and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon are closely monitoring this breach to take appropriate measures.

A ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, brokered by the U.S. and France, has been in effect since November 27, 2024, following more than a year of clashes linked to the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Despite the agreement, which stipulated a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon by February 18, 2025, Israel continues to occupy five sites in southern Lebanon and conducts airstrikes in southern and eastern regions, claiming it is targeting "Hezbollah threats." Enditem
