Israeli forces kill two Lebanese men in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire
Israeli military forces have opened fire on a region in southern Lebanon in blatant violation of a US-sponsored ceasefire, killing two people.
Lebanon’s Civil Defense and official National News Agency (NNA) said Israeli soldiers opened fire at a group of people near a bulldozer clearing a road in the al-Deir neighborhood of Nabatieh al-Fawqa town on Tuesday.
The Israeli military said it was checking the report.
This incident marks the most recent fatal occurrence despite a US-mediated “ceasefire” established last week between Israel and the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
Iran had previously cautioned that it would “respond” should Israeli occupation forces initiate further assaults on Lebanon.
The recent Israeli offensive in southern Lebanon has resulted in direct damage costs to buildings exceeding $1.38 billion, with an estimated rubble volume of approximately 3.1 million cubic meters, according to a report released on Monday by a UN agency and a Lebanese research center.
The assessment was conducted by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in collaboration with Lebanon’s National Council for Scientific Research, which is linked to the government.
The findings indicate that 11,095 buildings were completely destroyed, impacting 17,891 housing units, while 2,242 buildings experienced partial damage, affecting 5,219 housing units.
Additionally, the report said that 9,311 buildings incurred minor damage, which corresponds to 18,282 housing units.
The assessment included regions located south of the Litani River, including the districts of Bint Jbeil, Marjayoun, Nabatieh, Tyre, and Sidon.
Since March 2, Israel has been conducting an extensive military onslaught in Lebanon, characterized by artillery bombardments and the demolition of homes, particularly in the southern areas. This offensive has led to the loss of 4,106 lives, left 12,153 individuals injured, and displaced over a million people, according to reports from Lebanese officials.
