"Thick plumes of smoke blanketed the sky over several towns in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon on Sunday, after Israeli forces launched a barrage of airstrikes on the area. Footage shows huge smoke clouds rising from the towns of Kfar Tebnit, Zawtar, and Nabatieh al-Fawqa. Earlier, the Israeli army issued evacuation warnings to residents of several villages and accused Hezbollah of 'violating the ceasefire agreement'. At least 10 people were killed, and dozens more were wounded in the strikes in Nabatieh, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to defy the ceasefire and 'vigorously attack Hezbollah targets' in Lebanon. On April 15, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Then, on April 23, he confirmed that the ceasefire had been extended for three weeks, following direct talks hosted by Washington between Lebanese and Israeli officials. The Israeli army called on residents of approximately 80 towns in the south not to return to their homes, stressing that it continues to maintain its deployment in those areas, justifying the move as necessary to counter what it described as 'terrorist activities'. Israel has indicated that it intends to establish a 'security zone' inside Lebanese territory, extending from the border up to the Litani River, which would amount to roughly 10% of Lebanon’s total area."
