Israeli forces carried out multiple air att-acks across southern and eastern Lebanon on Monday, targeting areas in the Bekaa region and the Jezzine district. According to the Israeli military, the strikes were aimed at what it described as Hezb-ollah and Ham-as sites, including locations in Hammara, Ain el-Tineh, Kfar Hatta, and Annan. The attacks followed Israeli warnings that led dozens of families to leave several villages amid heightened drone activity, with local sources reporting explosions near the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp close to Sidon.

Israeli drones and fighter jets struck the Ain al-Hilweh camp twice, with explosions heard in surrounding areas. No official information has been released on casualties or damage, and assessments are ongoing. Ain al-Hilweh is the largest Pales-tinian refugee camp in Lebanon, housing about 80,000 people out of roughly 250,000 Pales-tinian refugees in the country, according to UNRWA. On the same day, a drone strike on a car in the village of Braikeh injured two people, while a separate Israeli att-ack a day earlier in the Ayn al-Mizrab area near Bint Jbeil killed two people.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said continued Israeli attacks were undermining efforts to ease tensions, speaking ahead of a meeting of the ceasefire oversight body known as the Mechanism Committee. He noted that Lebanon has cooperated with initiatives aimed at reducing escalation, while strikes have continued. Israeli attacks have persisted despite a ceasefire agreement issued on November 27, 2024, and UN Security Council Resolution 1701, under which Israeli forces were expected to withdraw from southern Lebanon by January 2025 but have not done so.
