The Israeli military on Saturday launched a fresh wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon despite a US-brokered framework agreement between Beirut and Tel Aviv, Lebanese state media reported.
Three airstrikes targeted the al-Mashaa neighborhood in the town of al-Mansouri in the southern Tyre district, according to the National News Agency (NNA).
Israeli forces also blew up homes in the town of Houla in the southern Nabatieh district, the agency said.
A separate Israeli drone strike targeted the town of Kfar Tebnit, according to the NNA.

The attacks came despite Lebanon and Israel signing a US-sponsored framework agreement last month that provides for a phased Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory.
Since March 2, more than 4,300 people have been killed and over 12,000 injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Israeli forces continue to occupy parts of southern Lebanon, including areas held for decades and others seized during the 2023–2024 war. In the latest offensive, Israeli troops advanced more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) into Lebanese territory.

Israeli occupiers on Saturday attacked municipal workers south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank and destroyed a farm northwest of the city in the latest attacks across the occupied Palestinian territory, Anadolu reports.
The occupiers attacked municipal workers from Qabalan while they were installing an electricity line in the Ain al-Qasab area, forcing them to suspend the work, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, citing local sources.
In a separate incident northwest of Nablus, occupiers attacked a farm in the al-Masoudieh area, on land belonging to Burqa town, destroying its contents, including an agricultural structure, according to Diab Haji, head of the al-Masoudieh Land Defense Committee.

In the northern West Bank governorate of Jenin, local sources told Wafa that occupiers attacked Khirbet Masoud near the town of Ya’bad on Saturday morning and released their livestock onto agricultural land, damaging crops and trees.
Khirbet Masoud and its surrounding areas have been subjected to repeated attacks by occupiers and the Israeli army, including raids on homes and grazing areas, as well as assaults on residents and their property, the agency added.
In the central West Bank governorate of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, occupiers also damaged crops in the Al-Khalayel area of Al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah, after grazing their livestock on Palestinian-owned farmland.
Since October 2023, the occupied West Bank has witnessed intensified Israeli military raids and occupier attacks that have killed at least 1,175 Palestinians, injured 12,919 others, and led to the arrest of around 24,000 people, according to official Palestinian figures.

Germany on Friday criticized Israel’s continued expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank but stopped short of backing calls from EU partners for tougher measures, including a trade ban on goods from these settlements, Anadolu reports.
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul told a news conference in Berlin that Germany’s long-held position on illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories remains unchanged, and that it continues to remind Israel of its obligations under international law.
“All German governments to date — and we ourselves — have consistently issued statements to this effect,” Wadephul said, adding that he reiterated Germany’s expectations during his visit to Israel on Tuesday, when he discussed the latest developments with his Israeli counterpart.
“International law is the guiding principle here, and there must be no unilateral de facto annexation,” he said. “In particular, any form of settler violence is unacceptable. We expect the Israeli government to take decisive action against it.” He added that he had received assurances on the matter from his Israeli counterpart.
Wadephul stopped short of saying whether Germany would back proposals to ban or restrict imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank at Monday’s meeting of EU foreign ministers. Instead, he stressed the need to keep dialogue channels open with Israel.

“We have previously made decisions to impose sanctions on radical settler organizations prone to violence. We are ready to review the situation again at any time,” he said.
Wadephul argued that the immediate priority should be fostering conditions for progress on other urgent fronts.
“Overall, we must now foster a climate that guarantees, firstly, the success of the fruitful talks Israel is holding with Lebanon aimed at reaching an agreement. That is of historic importance,” he said. “And secondly, it is crucial that we finally make progress regarding the Gaza Strip. A solution there has been pending for far too long.”
He reiterated that Israel should not impose restrictions on humanitarian access to Gaza and must allow more aid into the Palestinian territory. He also called for accelerating efforts to dismantle Hamas’s power structure.
“We must finally reach a point where responsibility for the Gaza Strip is gradually handed over to the Palestinian administration that is to be formed,” Wadephul said. “I believe we should focus on these questions now. And that will also be my key contribution at the EU foreign ministers’ meeting on Monday.”

Hundreds of people gathered in the Swedish capital Stockholm on Saturday to protest Israel’s attacks on Gaza, ceasefire violations, and restrictions on humanitarian aid entering the enclave, Anadolu reports.
The demonstrators gathered at Odenplan Square following calls by several civil society organizations.
Protesters carrying Palestinian flags chanted slogans against Israel and called for the immediate lifting of the blockade on Gaza.
They also accused Israel of violating the ceasefire reached on Oct. 10, 2025.
Dror Feiler, a Swedish Jewish activist and chair of European Jews for a Just Peace, told Anadolu that the demonstrators were standing up for Palestinian rights, justice and equality.

“A peace achieved without justice is not real peace and will ultimately lead to another war,” Feiler said.
He accused the international community of turning away from alleged crimes against humanity and violations of international law in Gaza.
Feiler also criticized what he described as the collapse of the international order and laws established following World War II and the Holocaust, arguing that powerful actors apply rules according to their own interests.
Rejecting accusations of antisemitism against the demonstrations, he said protesters opposed oppression regardless of who carries it out.
“Criticizing the Israeli government or Zionism … does not make someone antisemitic,” Feiler said.
