Beirut, December 20 (Prensa Latina) Israeli warplanes bombed southern areas of Lebanon today as part of their ongoing aggression against border towns of the Levantine nation.
According to local broadcaster Al Manar, Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of the towns of Aita Al-Shaab and Ramieh as well as the hills of Kafr Kila at dawn.
Several shells from the Tel Aviv armed forces fell in the Hamul area near Naqoura and in the forest area between Ain Abel and Bint Jbeil.
The National News Agency reported that the Al Motila colony was attacked by two rockets from Lebanese territory and an Israeli artillery shell hit Tal Nahas.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), more than 64,000 people have been displaced from southern Lebanon due to Israeli aggression.
The incursions by the Israeli Defense Forces caused damage to private property and public infrastructure of the Levantine state, as well as to agricultural land, after fires were caused by the impact of the projectiles.
In its latest update, OCHA noted that operational and security issues affected more than 50 public schools in border areas, disrupting nearly seven thousand students' education.
In this regard, the Office mentioned pre-existing barriers such as costs related to education (transport, school supplies), which prevent parents from sending their children to the centers while they are displaced by the conflict.
In this scenario, six primary health centers in the southern districts of Marjayoun and Bent Jbeil remain closed.
Due to increased bombing, operational access for humanitarian actors is restricted within the seven-kilometer strip of the highest zone along the Blue Line.
In this context, OCHA recognized communities' reduced ability to access essential goods and services, as well as residents' difficulties in meeting their basic needs in the immediate conflict zone and in places of displacement.
