Border tensions rise as fresh tank-fire breaks day-old Lebanon-Israel peace deal
A peace agreement between Lebanon and Israel faces its first test just one day after implementation. Six Lebanese border towns got hit by tank-fire while locals tried getting back to their homes
The fresh peace deal between Lebanon and Israel didnt last long - tank rounds hit multiple Lebanese towns near the border just a day after both sides agreed to stop fighting
Israeli forces targeted six areas within 2km of the Blue Line (the official border marker)‚ including towns like Markaba and Wazzani. Two people got hurt in Markaba during this incident. The Israeli military claims they saw some suspicious activity near the border which made them break the cease-fire
Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his troops to keep locals away from border villages‚ while Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri told people its ok to check their homes. The deal gives Israel about 2 months to move their soldiers out of Lebanese land - but right now they still control some border towns and keep flying drones in the area
Hassan Nasrallahʼs Hezbollah group says their fighters are ready with “hands on the trigger“ to watch how Israel moves out; however they lost many fighters during the past year-and-a-half of fighting
The US-French peace plan wants to help people get back to their homes in both countries after almost 14 months of non-stop battles. This deal is quite rare in this troubled area but the fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza still goes on
