One killed, 17 injured in 'Israeli' attack on Lebanon
Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that the Israeli Occupation Forces' (IOF) attack on civilians returning to their homes and villages in southern Lebanon has resulted in one martyr and 17 injuries.
The ministry stated that the IOF targeted Lebanese citizens with live ammunition as they returned to their towns in the south of the country.
On Sunday morning, the 'Israeli' army issued a warning to the residents of dozens of villages in southern Lebanon, advising them not to return to their homes. The military declared that "it is prohibited for residents to head south to the village line and its surroundings until further notice."

'Israeli' army also released a list of villages where residents are forbidden from returning while the army spokesperson Avichay Adraee directed a message to the people of Lebanon and the southern region.
In a post on the "X" platform, Adraee claimed: "As usual, Hezbollah places its narrow interests above that of the Lebanese state and attempts to escalate the situation through its propaganda, despite being the primary cause of the destruction in the south."
He added: "In the coming period, we will continue to inform you about the areas where it is safe to return. Until then, we ask you to wait and not allow Hezbollah to use you in an attempt to cover up the devastating consequences of its irresponsible decisions at the expense of Lebanon’s security."
#عاجل إلى سكان لبنان ولا سيما سكان الجنوب اللبناني: #حزب_الله كعادته يضع مصلحته الضيقة فوق مصالح الدولة اللبنانية ويحاول من خلال أبواقه تسخين الوضع وذلك رغم كونه السبب الرئيسي في تدمير الجنوب.
