BEIRUT (AA) – The Israeli army struck a home in northern Lebanon and demolished several buildings in the country’s south on Tuesday, in the latest violation of a cease-fire deal between Tel Aviv and Beirut, Lebanese media said.

Israeli aircraft fired a missile into a 3-story home in Qleiaat town in Akkar province, but the missile failed to explode, the state news agency NNA reported.

Explosions were also heard in the towns of Khiam and Maroun El-Ras in southern Lebanon as a result of home demolitions by the army in the area, the broadcaster said.

Meanwhile, the body of a Lebanese child was found under the rubble two months after an Israeli airstrike in Moaisra town in central Lebanon.

Since the cease-fire deal between Lebanon and Israel took effect on Nov. 27 to end over 14 months of fighting between the Israeli army and Hezbollah group, Lebanese authorities have reported at least 176 Israeli violations of the agreement.

Under the cease-fire terms, Israel is required to withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line - a de facto border - in phases, while the Lebanese army is to deploy in southern Lebanon within 60 days.

The US and France are responsible for overseeing the agreement's implementation, but details on enforcement mechanisms are unclear.

Over 4,000 people have been killed and more than 16,500 injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon, and over 1 million others have been displaced since October 2023, according to Lebanese health authorities.
