Israeli attacks persist in southern Lebanon

Israeli forces launched new strikes on southern Lebanon, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating that the military is "not going to withdraw" from occupied positions. He emphasized that troops will stay "as long as necessary," despite the recent US-Iran agreement. The attacks have resulted in casualties among those trying to return to their homes.

Hezbollah's accusations

Lebanon's Hezbollah group accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians who were attempting to return to their houses in the south. Two people were killed and a third wounded in the strikes, according to the group. The incidents occur amid ongoing efforts by displaced Lebanese to go back to their properties after previous rounds of conflict.
