Artillery also shelled the Jarmaq area in the Jezzine district and the outskirts of Kfar Shuba.

Lebanese government reports 4,389 deaths since March 2
Official figures released by the Lebanese government on Monday said Israeli attacks on Lebanon had killed 4,389 people and injured 12,424 since March 2.
The attacks have continued despite a US-sponsored “Framework Agreement” signed by Beirut and Tel Aviv on June 26. The agreement calls for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the deployment of the Lebanese army.
Israel continues to carry out attacks in southern Lebanon and remains in control of Lebanese areas, some occupied for decades and others seized during recent wars and military operations.
