Israel strikes Lebanon twice despite ceasefire; tensions rise as displaced residents return

Israel launched two air strikes in Lebanon, potentially breaching the ceasefire agreement. Israeli army says one strike targeted a Hezbollah weapons facility in southern Lebanon, whilst another occurred near Sidon. Israel accuses Hezbollah fighters of violating the agreement, while Hezbollah reports Israeli tank fire in border villages. The Lebanese army is enforcing a demilitarised zone as displaced Palestinians return. Israeli military warns against movement in the south until Friday. Hezbollah officials are deferring to Lebanese armed forces, signalling a changing of the guard in previously Hezbollah-controlled areas. Israel claims to be enforcing the ceasefire, but Lebanese criticism persists. The situation remains fluid, with over a million displaced people returning and ongoing political divisions in Israel over the ceasefire’s implementation.
