The bombing occurred despite the ceasefire in place between Israel and Lebanon. Meanwhile, emergency services rescued a wounded journalist and are still trying to evacuate another reporter who is trapped.

The Lebanese Red Cross transported journalist Zeinab Faraj to the Government Hospital in Tebnine, although her vehicle was hit by hostile fire, leaving visible bullet holes.

Reporter Amal Khalil, from the local newspaper Al-Akhbar, remains trapped in the area and unable to be evacuated, while rescue teams try to reach her under adverse conditions.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called for cooperation between the Red Cross, the Lebanese Army, and the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to protect journalists and ensure safe evacuations.

At Tiri is located near Bint Jbeil, the scene of clashes between Israel and the Shiite group Hezbollah, despite the recent implementation of a ceasefire.

The ten-day truce was agreed upon in Washington between the ambassadors of Israel and Lebanon, with limited expectations of success and without Hezbollah’s direct participation in the negotiations.

Lebanon’s National Center for Natural Hazards and Early Warning reported 220 violations of the truce since its inception, including 52 artillery attacks, 15 machine gun incidents, and seven bombings.
