The Lebanese health ministry reports that three people have been killed and some 31 have been injured by Israeli fire in southern Lebanon.

The IDF had warned Lebanese civilians over the weekend not to approach areas where troops are still deployed.

Israel said Friday its forces would remain in south Lebanon beyond today’s deadline for their departure.

A ceasefire signed in late November that ended the 2023-2024 war between Hezbollah and Israel stipulated that Israeli forces would withdraw as the Iran-backed terror group’s weapons and fighters are removed from southern Lebanon and the Lebanese army deploys.

But Israel said the terms had not been fully enforced by the Lebanese state, meaning Israeli troops would stay beyond today, without saying for how long.
