Data from the monitoring group Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (Acled) show at least 2,827 ceasefire breaches since the ceasefire began on November 27, last year. In the first week after the truce, Lebanon's parliament speaker said 54 Israeli breaches had already been logged.
Since the ceasefire agreement, the data shows that half of the Israeli breaches were categorised as “Political violence”, which includes violence against civilians, explosions (whether they were missile attacks or remote explosions) and battles. In those events, more than 300 people were killed. And while the data covers up to the end of October, the figures could increase due to the recent strikes on Monday by Israel on southern Lebanon, killing at least two people.
The Lebanese Health Ministry said at least seven people were injured in the strikes, which came after Israel threatened to expand its attacks against the Iran-backed Hezbollah. One person was killed and seven were wounded in a drone strike on the town of Doueir, in Nabatieh province, while a second strike on Aita Al Shaab in the same province killed one person.
Southern Lebanon has been facing most of the damage caused by Israel, adding more to the destruction and difficulties they're encountering while trying to rebuild the region.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun repeated that his country “has no option but negotiation” with Israel.
