The Lebanese health ministry says 11 people have been killed and some 83 have been wounded by IDF fire in southern Lebanon since this morning.

The Israeli military says it opened fire on suspects approaching troops, who are still deployed in southern Lebanon.

Israeli forces had been set to withdraw today from south Lebanon, but Israel said the terms of the ceasefire with Hezbollah had not been fully enforced by the Lebanese state, meaning Israeli troops would remain for an unspecified length of time.
