Anadolu’s tally was compiled based on announcements by Lebanon's National News Agency.
According to various reports published by the agency, the violations on Saturday were concentrated in the Tyre district in the South governorate and the Marjayoun and Bint Jbeil districts in the Nabatieh governorate.
The violations included artillery shelling, incursions by soldiers and military vehicles, bulldozing lemon orchards, demolition of homes and buildings, flights by warplanes and drones and the establishment of a military checkpoint.
In the Tyre district, Israeli forces carried out new bulldozing operations that targeted lemon orchards near the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in Naqoura.
Also in Naqoura, the army conducted new demolitions of buildings and homes and established a permanent military checkpoint at a location previously held by the Lebanese army near the fishermen's harbor.
In the Bint Jbeil district, warplanes were reported flying at low altitude.
The Israeli army also targeted the outskirts of Hanin with five artillery shells while simultaneously blowing up several homes in the area.
In the Marjayoun district, a hostile Israeli drone was reported flying at low altitude above Khiam, Burj Al-Muluk, Qlayaa, Jdeidet Marjayoun, Dibbine and Blat, as well as the Marjayoun plain.
Meanwhile, around 20 Israeli army personnel stationed themselves at the entrance to Deir Mimas with military vehicles and bulldozers.
At least 30 people have been killed and 37 others injured in Israeli attacks since a cease-fire deal between Israel and Lebanon took effect Nov. 27, according to an Anadolu tally based on Lebanese Health Ministry figures.
Under the terms of the cease-fire, 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.
More than 4,000 victims were killed and over 16,500 injured in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since October 2023, according to Lebanese health authorities. An excess of 1 million have been displaced.
