Israeli army Opens Fire on civilians in Lebanon

The Big Picture:

With the 60-day deadline for the Zionist regime to withdraw from Lebanon expiring at 4 a.m. on Sunday, residents of Lebanese border villages returned home but faced gunfire from the Zionist military.

Key Points:

• The Lebanese President emphasized that "Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity are non-negotiable," pledging to advocate for these rights at the highest levels.
• He expressed solidarity with the people in the south celebrating the victory of justice and urged them to remain restrained and trust the armed forces.

• Conditions are “not yet in place” for the safe return of Lebanese citizens to southern Lebanon, the top UN official in Lebanon said.

After the cessation of the war in Gaza and the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, citizens who had left their homes in war zones are returning to southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 47,283 Palestinians and wounded 111,472 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.

Israeli forces have also opened fire on Palestinians trying to return to their homes in the north of the Gaza Strip, killing at least one person, as Hamas accuses Israel of delaying the implementation of the ceasefire deal.
