The Israeli army announced on Friday, two days after the ceasefire in Lebanon came into effect, that it attacked more than 12,500 targets during the war on Lebanon, claiming that they were Hezbollah targets, including 360 targets in the capital Beirut and about 1,000 targets in the Bekaa area.

The Lebanese National News Agency confirmed that the Israeli army fired at citizens in Khiam during the funeral of one of the town’s residents. It also later reported that an artillery shell fell on Khiam.

The Israeli occupation army threatened to target Lebanese citizens located south of the villages of Shebaa, Hebbariyah, Marjaayoun, Arnoun, Yohmor, Qantara, Chaqra, Baraachit, Yater and Mansouri in southern Lebanon. The occupation told residents not to go south of the villages “until further notice,” warning that anyone going south of these villages “puts themselves in danger,” in a statement issued by the occupation forces.

The occupation army asked the residents of 64 villages in southern Lebanon not to return.

This comes as the Lebanese army confirmed on Thursday that Israel violated the ceasefire agreement several times on Wednesday and Thursday, confirming in a statement: “On November 27 and 28, after the announcement of the ceasefire agreement, the Israeli enemy violated the agreement several times.”
