On December 22, 2025, an Israeli air strike near Sidon, southern Lebanon, killed at least three people, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed the deaths resulted from an attack on a vehicle. The Israeli military stated they targeted Hezbollah members in the area. This incident follows a previous Israeli attack on Sunday that killed one and wounded two others. These actions are part of near-daily Israeli violations of the November 2024 ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, despite provisions for disarmament and withdrawal of forces. The UN reported at least 127 civilian deaths in Lebanon due to Israeli attacks since the ceasefire, prompting calls for investigation.
