Lebanon has made it clear that any remaining Israeli presence on its lands will be considered an occupation, following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from border villages in southern Lebanon. Israeli troops have remained in five points inside the country for security reasons, leading to tensions between the two countries.
Hezbollah’s secretary general has warned that any Israeli military presence beyond a certain date would be seen as an occupying force. The Lebanese presidency has stated that they have the right to use all means to ensure a full Israeli withdrawal as outlined in the truce deal.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with international aid agencies accusing Israel of blocking essential supplies. Oxfam has reported that over 80% of water and sanitation infrastructure has been destroyed, leading to catastrophic health conditions. The charity is urging for more aid to be allowed into Gaza to help alleviate the crisis.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops are still stationed in strategic locations in southern Lebanon despite the agreed-upon withdrawal deadline. The Israeli defense minister has stated that the IDF will enforce the ceasefire deal forcefully and ensure security for northern communities.
As tensions continue to simmer between Israel and Lebanon, the international community is closely monitoring the situation to prevent any escalation of conflict. The World Bank is set to release an assessment of damages to Gaza’s infrastructure in the coming days, shedding light on the extent of destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes during the war.
