Almost one year after the ceasefire deal between Hezbollah and Israel took effect, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has continued to launch deadly airstrikes across Lebanon, with a considerable escalation of attacks on Monday, November 10.
Monday’s aerial campaign began early in the morning with a drone strike targeting a civilian vehicle in the southern district of Sidon, killing one person.
Later that day, Israeli fighter jets targeted other areas in southern Lebanon including the highlands of Iqlim al-Tuffah, Jabal al-Rafi’, Al-Rayhan, Jarmaq Heights, and the Green valley in Nabatieh governorate, as well as the areas of Jabal al-Jbour, Barghoz, Al-Qatrani, and Mahmoudiyeh.
The Al-Nabi Sheet, Sha’rah and Hermel areas in the eastern Baalbek district were also struck by Israeli warplanes, while intense Israeli drone activity was reported over the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut (known as Dahiyeh) and the surrounding areas at low altitude.
The brutal large-scale offensive came one day after Israel launched airstrikes on different parts of southern Lebanon, killing two people in separate attacks on Bint Jbeil and Iqlim al-Tufah.
On Saturday, November, 9, the IOF launched multiple drone strikes in southern Lebanon, leaving at least three people killed and 11 others injured.
It is worth noting that Israel has reportedly violated the ceasefire deal 5,163 times, killing at least 309 people in Lebanon since November 27, 2025, when the truce came into force.
Negotiations with Israel are the “only way” to achieve Lebanon’s national goals, says Aoun
While Israel has spared no opportunity to sabotage the ceasefire deal, the US-aligned Lebanese state has insisted on showing its allegiance to the Trump administration by repeatedly entreating peace with the Israeli government.
On Monday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun asserted that being engaged in negotiations with Israel is “the only way” to achieve his country’s “national goals”. He was speaking in a joint press conference with his Bulgarian counterpart, Rumen Radev, at the Bulgarian Presidential Palace in Sofia on Monday.
“Our army’s mission is crucial in these circumstances, because it alone, and I reiterate, alone, without any partner, neither from outside the state nor from outside Lebanon, must extend the authority of our state over all of its territories and borders, and impose its full sovereignty, where the Israeli attacks on our land cease, and Israel withdraws from the points it still occupies inside Lebanon. This should be accompanied by a negotiations course, which we consider as the only way to achieve our national goals and the supreme interest of Lebanon,” Aoun stated.
