The Israeli Army has carried out new air attacks this Wednesday on several areas in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese state media, despite the preliminary agreement reached on Sunday between the United States and Iran to try to end the conflict in the Middle East, which originated after the joint US-Israeli offensive initiated on February 28 against the Asian country.
According to data released by the official Lebanese agency NNA, the bombings targeted the areas of Nabatiye and Iqlim al Tufá, as well as the surroundings of Kafr Tibnit. So far, no casualties have been reported, and the Israeli Army has not issued any public statement on these operations.
On Tuesday, at least seven people died in the south of the country, six of them in Israeli attacks and another one from the explosion of a previously unexploded device, as detailed by the Lebanese newspaper "L'Orient-Le Jour". These episodes increase doubts about the solidity of the understanding reached between Washington and Tehran.
Pakistan, which has acted as a mediator, announced on Sunday a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran —ratified by both governments— with the aim of stopping the open war in the Middle East resulting from the aforementioned offensive, launched while talks for a new nuclear pact between the two powers continued.
Both sides have indicated that the signing ceremony of the memorandum of understanding will be held in Switzerland on Friday. From then on, a 60-day period will open to finalize the terms of a definitive peace agreement, in a context marked by Iran's warnings about Israel's attacks on Lebanese territory, which Tehran interprets as a violation of what was agreed with Washington.
