Beirut, Dec 3 (UNI) The Israeli air force carried out strikes on a number of settlements in southern Lebanon, killing nine people and injuring three others, the Lebanese Health Ministry’s emergency operations center said.
“According to preliminary data, as a result of Israeli enemy air strikes on the settlement of Haris, five people were killed and two others were injured. Four citizens were killed and one was injured in air strikes on the settlement of Tallouseh,” the center said in a statement on Monday.
Last week, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon by an absolute majority of votes. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the need for the ceasefire and said that Israel would respond to any possible resumption of hostilities. US President Joe Biden said that the Israeli and Lebanese governments had agreed to Washington’s ceasefire proposal, which includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon within 60 days. Under the plan, the Lebanese army will take control of southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah will relocate its forces north of the Litani River.
