Israeli troops fire on Lebanese town, injuring at least 2
One day after a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah went into effect, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reports that two Lebanese citizens were wounded in Markaba when Israel fired on it.
Our correspondent on the ground has corroborated this information, saying the attack resulted in the injuries.
The wounded were transferred to a hospital and are being treated, NNA says.
Markaba is within the 10km occupied buffer zone.
Another Israeli attack on a Lebanese town
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) says that an Israeli tank targeted the outskirts of the town of Kfarchouba with two shells. This comes after at least two people were injured in the town of Markaba after Israeli forces fired on it.
Despite a ceasefire going into effect just over 24 hours ago, the Israeli army placed movement restrictions on southern Lebanon, saying anyone who violates them is in danger.
Kfarchouba is north east of Metula, outside the 'prohibited' zone.
Israel says it opened fire on ‘suspects’ in Lebanon’s south
Israel’s military says on X that in the last hour, “the arrival of suspects, some with vehicles, to several areas in southern Lebanon was detected, which constitutes a violation”. The army did not elaborate on the circumstances of this alleged violation of the ceasefire, now barely more than a day old.
It confirmed firing on targets in Lebanon, incidents we reported earlier in the towns of Markaba, where at least two people were injured, and Kfarchouba. The Israeli army “is deployed in southern Lebanon and enforces any violation of the ceasefire agreement”, it said.
