At least three displaced Lebanese were killed and 17 others were injured this Sunday (01/26/2025) by shots fired by Israeli forces, after the ceasefire agreement that established the withdrawal of the Israeli Army expired. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, "attacks by the Israeli enemy against citizens trying to return to their villages left one dead and nine injured in Houla, and another eight injured in Kfar Kila", two towns in Lebanon bordering Israel. Shortly afterward they raised the death toll to three.
Groups of displaced people gathered at the entrance to their villages in southern Lebanon from early this Sunday with the intention of returning or assessing the damage to their homes, since at dawn the 60-day period established by the pact expired for them to Israel completed its withdrawal from Lebanese territory, although Israeli forces remained there after the deadline.
Despite this, the Israeli Government already announced last Friday that it would not withdraw in time its forces still present in the neighboring country since the invasion that began on October 1, alleging that the other party has incurred delays in implementing the tasks that were assigned to him. The pact also establishes the departure of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah from the border strip and its replacement by a greater deployment of the Lebanese Army.
According to the National News Agency (ANN), the Kfar Kila attack occurred after the victims "crossed the barrier and checkpoint set up by the 'occupation army'", one of many points where congregations of displaced people were registered in the western and central sectors of the border strip. Israel has withdrawn from most of the eastern sector, but remains present in various parts of the western part.
Israel today accused Hamas of two violations of the truce agreement, thus justifying its refusal to allow displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip to return to their villages in the north. "During yesterday's execution of the second phase of the exchange, Hamas committed two violations. Arbel Yehud, a civilian hostage scheduled for release on Saturday, has not been released, and a detailed list of the situation of all the hostages has not been provided. hostages," said a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
Hamas released four Israeli military women on Saturday in exchange for 200 Palestinian detainees in the second exchange planned for the truce agreement in the war in Gaza, although a last-minute disagreement prevented hundreds of thousands of displaced people from returning to the north of the Palestinian territory. . This second exchange took place almost a week after the entry into force of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, devastated after more than 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas.
