Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs during Eid al-Adha night, described as the most extensive since the ceasefire, prompted Lebanon's army to threaten freezing cooperation with the monitoring committee for the first time since the truce began. Military officials told AFP that Israel prevented Lebanese forces from inspecting the targeted site before bombing it, violating established protocols.
The strikes, which Israeli military called their "most important" operations, destroyed nine buildings according to L'Orient-Le Jour.
