Iran Press/West Asia: This escalation comes amid repeated instances of ceasefire violations in the south of Lebanon by Israeli forces. In a separate incident, occupying troops fired upon a shepherd in the Qatmoun region near the southern Lebanese town of Rmeish, injuring him in the shoulder.
The regime's Channel 13 also revealed on Tuesday that Tel Aviv has communicated to the United States its intention not to establish a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. However, the Israeli regime made it clear that its forces would not withdraw from southern Lebanon within the next 60 days. Instead, they intend to remain in certain areas until a final agreement is reached and the Lebanese Army fully controls the region.
