The Israeli regime continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, killing civilians in different parts of southern Lebanon on Sunday.

A Lebanese citizen was killed in an Israeli drone strike in the eastern neighborhood of Mays al-Jabal, southern Lebanon when the drone targeted him with two missiles as he exited his car. Meanwhile, another drone strike targeting a vehicle in the town of Yater, also in southern Lebanon, resulted in one martyr and one injury.

This comes amid near-daily violations of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon by the Israeli Occupation Forces, who have been using drones to strike civilians in southern Lebanon, while three committees were formed to resolve outstanding issues between "Israel" and Lebanon.

Lebanon committees' roles on unresolved issues

The formation of three committees by Lebanon to resolve outstanding issues with the Israeli occupation comes in continuation of the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, Al Mayadeen reported as per its sources on March 12.

With details provided to Al Mayadeen indicating that the committees remain closely tied to Resolution 1701 and do not involve direct negotiations between Lebanon and "Israel," and with sources affirming that they are not a means of normalizing ties with the occupation while dismissing all related rumors as false, the context surrounding their role becomes clearer.

Aiming to resolve three key unresolved issues, the committees focus on matters related to the occupied Palestinian-Lebanese border, disputes over border sites that have remained contentious since the 2006 war, and the five occupied positions following the recent war, with the issue of Lebanese detainees held in "Israel" also set to be examined.

Lebanese Red Cross receives four Lebanese detainees from Israelis

This comes after four Lebanese detainees captured during the Israeli war on Lebanon were released on Tuesday, with a fifth set to be freed on Wednesday.

The four freed detainees were released through the Ras al-Naqoura crossing, after being captured in the past three months, and the Lebanese Red Cross received them and transported them to the Lebanese-Italian Hospital in Tyre.

The five detainees were arrested by Israeli forces in January and February of this year, constituting a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement. Their release was secured following a meeting of the committee overseeing the agreement’s implementation in Ras al-Naqoura earlier today.

"Israel" is still holding eight Lebanese citizens prisoner, one of whom is a civilian and the remaining seven are Hezbollah fighters. 

The Lebanese Armed Forces announced on March 10 that one of its soldiers, who was dressed in civilian clothing, had been captured by the Israeli occupation forces after contact with him was lost.

Investigations later revealed that Israeli troops opened fire on him on the outskirts of Kfarshouba, wounding him before taking him to the occupied Palestinian territories on March 9, according to a statement from the Lebanese Army.

'Israel' continues to violate Lebanon ceasefire

"Israel" has been escalating its violations of the ceasefire deal, shooting at civilians and Lebanese Army soldiers, and most recently, capturing one Lebanese army soldier.

The Lebanese Armed Forces announced that the Israeli Occupation Forces captured one of its soldiers on March 10 after contact was lost with him. According to LAF investigations, the soldier was shot and wounded by Israeli troops before they took him to occupied Palestinian territories.

In the same shooting incident on March 9, one Lebanese soldier was killed, and two others were injured after Israeli soldiers opened fire on a group of civilians near the Fatima Gate in Kfar Kila.

On March 8, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in southern Lebanon reported that an Israeli drone strike targeted a vehicle on the outskirts of al-Jumeijmeh and al-Sawwaneh, killing one person while the Lebanese Ministry of Health stated that a drone strike on a vehicle in Khirbet Selem resulted in one person being killed and another wounded.

On March 7, Israeli jets conducted 28 airstrikes on several areas in southern Lebanon, including Wadi Zibqin, the area between Aita al-Shaab and Beit Yahoun, the outskirts of al-Ayshieh, and a valley between Ansar and Zrariyeh, as well as Tibna.
