A civilian was killed Sunday morning in an Israeli drone strike in Halta (Hasbaya) in the eastern sector of the border zone of southern Lebanon, according to the Ministry of Health. L#39;Orient Today#39;s correspondent in the region, citing local sources, noted that the victim, Amer Abd al-Aal, was a man in his 40s, killed while working at his chicken farm, between Halta and Wadi Khansa.
Despite the cease-fire that took effect on Nov. 27, the Israeli army continues its strikes in Lebanon, primarily in the south and the Bekaa. The Israeli attacks since the truce, encompassing both bombings and shootings, have resulted in 149 deaths, according to L#39;Orient Today#39;s tally. The U.N. stated on April 15 that it recorded 71 civilian deaths in these attacks. Moreover, Israeli troops continue to occupy at least five positions they consider quot;strategicquot; in southern Lebanon.
It should also be noted that two Israeli drones have continued to fly over the central sector of the border since Sunday morning. — L#39; Orient Todaynbsp;
