• Israel conducted air strikes in southern Beirut, marking the third attack since a ceasefire in November.
• Lebanese President Joseph Aoun calls for international pressure to halt Israeli attacks.
• Hezbollah's deputy leader emphasized the need for Lebanon’s government to act against Israeli aggression.

Israel launched air strikes on southern Beirut's suburbs on Sunday, marking the third strike since a ceasefire was brokered in late November. The Israeli military stated that the strikes targeted facilities believed to house precision missiles used by Hezbollah. Residents were warned to evacuate the area about an hour before the attack, leading to widespread panic in the densely populated neighborhood of Hadath, according to SCMP and India Times.

The Lebanese Presidency condemned the air strike, calling it a blatant violation of the ceasefire terms, and urged the United States and France, who brokered the truce, to compel Israel to cease its attacks. President Joseph Aoun warned that continued aggression poses significant risks to regional stability, as reported by Al Jazeera and Reuters.

Hezbollah's deputy leader, Naim Qassem, stated that the group has complied with the ceasefire and criticized the Lebanese government for not doing enough to protect the nation from Israeli strikes. He called on state officials to apply pressure on Western powers, particularly the United States, to ensure that aggression towards Lebanon stops, according to Channel News Asia and Al Jazeera.

UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, expressed deep concern over the strikes, noting that they generate panic and undermine the fragile ceasefire. She urged all parties to refrain from actions that could escalate violence further, as stated by BBC and Dawn.
