The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) shelled the town of Khiam on Thursday, violating the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported.

An Israeli tank also targeted the outskirts of Kfar Chouba with two shells, and a Merkava tank fired a shell at the town of al-Wazzani while Israeli reconnaissance aircraft flew over the villages of the Tyre and Bint Jbeil districts.

At night, the town of Aita al-Shaab and the town of Bint Jbeil were shelled by Israeli forces.

Two journalists were wounded Wednesday by Israeli fire while they were covering the return of residents and the Israeli withdrawal from the town of Khiam.

holy shit. So a big part of the ceasefire deal is for the Lebanese Army to move into southern Lebanon and take over from Hezbollah - is Israel's goal to get the Lebanese Army to move into range of their artillery so that they can shoot them and escalate the war further?
