Israeli attacks in south Lebanon: Latest developments

W460

Israeli drones on Thursday dropped percussion bombs on the destroyed school in the southern town of al-Dhayra and on a home in the southern border town of Kfar Kila.

An Israeli attack had at dawn targeted a prefabricated room in the southern town of Adaisseh, following three Apache helicopter strikes on a prefabricated home belonging to an NGO in the southern town of Houla.

Israel has continued to launch strikes on Lebanon despite the November 27 truce which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of full-blown war.

Under the deal, Hezbollah was to pull back its fighters north of Lebanon's Litani River, some 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Israeli border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure to its south.

Israel was to withdraw all its forces from Lebanon, but it has kept troops in five areas that it deems "strategic".

Lebanon says it has respected its ceasefire commitments and has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw all its troops.
