At least 14 people were killed and over 80 injured in southern Lebanon as Israeli forces remained after the withdrawal deadline. The Lebanese health ministry confirmed the casualties. The ceasefire deal required Israeli troops and Hezbollah to leave the area, but Israel cited delays in dismantling Hezbollah’s infrastructure. The Lebanese army accused Israel of stalling its deployment. President Joseph Aoun vowed to defend Lebanon’s sovereignty. Hezbollah has not responded but called the extended presence a violation. The recent conflict killed 4,000 people and displaced over a million. Thousands of residents are now returning to unsafe border towns despite warnings.
