The Israeli army fired 113 projectiles into southern Lebanon on Wednesday, the highest daily total recorded since June 21, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said Thursday, Anadolu reports.

“While violence remains significantly lower than in previous months, the overall situation remains fragile,” UNIFIL said on the US social media company X.

“Peacekeepers continue monitoring and reporting developments to the Security Council, maintaining their operational tempo, and engaging with the parties to help reduce tensions,” it added.

UNIFIL said commitment to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, along with dialogue and coordination, remains essential to de-escalation and the restoration of stability in southern Lebanon.

The statement came amid US-brokered talks between Lebanon and Israel that continued through Thursday to discuss mechanisms for implementing the ceasefire agreement.

Israel has continued its military operations in Lebanon since March 2. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, the attacks have killed 4,333 people and injured 12,250 others.
