Shafaq News/ On Sunday, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced that two Lebanese civilians were killed and 31 others injured by Israeli forces as they attempted to return to their villages in southern Lebanon. The ministry warned that the death toll could rise.
Israeli forces reportedly fired machine guns and shells at civilians on foot near the villages of Hula, Mais al-Jabal, and other areas in southern Lebanon. Additional injuries were reported among civilians from Kfarkela attempting to enter the town.
In Taybeh, residents removed barbed wire installed by the Lebanese army at the town's entrance and advanced toward the area. Car convoys were also seen heading toward Khiam despite warnings from the Israeli military. Similarly, residents of Marun al-Ras bypassed barriers set up by the Lebanese army, crossing on foot toward their town.
The Israeli army issued radio warnings, prohibiting southern Lebanese residents from returning to their villages. Earthen embankments were erected on roads leading to Wadi al-Hujayr and Wadi al-Sulouqi to block civilian access to southern Lebanese villages.
Footage showed cars crossing from Khardali toward villages in the Marjayoun district. Meanwhile, the Israeli military reportedly detained two young men from Hula as they attempted to enter the town.
The incidents coincide with the expiration of a 60-day deadline outlined in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Despite the agreement, the Israeli army has yet to withdraw from all southern Lebanese villages.
The Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot reported that ground maneuvers by the Israeli army continue 60 days after the ceasefire with Hezbollah came into effect. On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed that Israeli forces would not withdraw from southern Lebanon after the deadline. The statement noted that the gradual withdrawal would proceed in full coordination with the US administration.
