Israeli gunfire injured five individuals in southern Lebanon on Sunday, according to reports from Lebanese media and security officials. This incident occurred as residents attempted to return to their homes in the border region, where Israeli troops remained present after the expiration of a withdrawal deadline.

On Friday, Israel announced its decision to extend the presence of its forces beyond the Sunday deadline established in the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that ended last year’s conflict with Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran. The duration of this extended military presence has not been specified by Israel.

The ceasefire agreement required Israeli troops to withdraw from southern Lebanon as Hezbollah’s armaments and personnel were removed, and the Lebanese army was deployed, all within a 60-day timeframe that concluded on Sunday morning. Israel has claimed that the Lebanese government has not fully implemented these conditions, while the U.S.-backed Lebanese military accused Israel on Saturday of delaying its withdrawal.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that Israeli forces fired upon residents of Kfar Kila after they crossed a barricade established by the Israeli military, resulting in five injuries. The Israeli military stated that it is investigating the incident. Kfar Kila is among several border villages that the Israeli military has declared off-limits to residents until further notice.
