Israeli occupation forces continued Thursday their attacks in South Lebanon, particularly in frontline villages along the border with occupied Palestine, despite the expiration of a 60-day deadline for their complete withdrawal from the area stipulated in the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.

An Israeli occupation bulldozer advanced toward the cemetery of the town of al-Dhayrah, where the Lebanese Army had been stationed in recent days. Meanwhile, the occupation forces targeted the outskirts of Shebaa with artillery shelling.  

Additionally, Israeli occupation forces threw stun grenades near paramedics in the town of Yarine while they were searching for the bodies of martyrs. An Israeli drone also dropped an explosive device near a family inspecting their home on the outskirts of Tallousah, where Israeli forces carried out a detonation.  

Simultaneously, three Israeli Merkava tanks and two military vehicles retreated from the northern part of Yaroun to its southeastern area. Following the withdrawal of occupation forces, several civilians entered the town from the north.

This comes as unarmed southern Lebanese continue to flock to their devastated towns and villages, some still controlled by the Israeli occupation forces, confronting the assaults of the raiding troops.

The Israeli occupation military is currently stationed in several southern Lebanese towns and villages near the border with occupied Palestine despite the expiration of a 60-day deadline for its complete withdrawal as per a ceasefire agreement that ended a two-month Israeli war on Lebanon.

But the White House released Sunday a statement announcing the extension of the ceasefire between Lebanon and "Israel" until February 18 this year.

Under the initial ceasefire agreement, the Lebanese Army is required to deploy alongside UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon as the Israeli military completes its withdrawal over a 60-day period.

Hezbollah is obligated to pull its forces back north of the Litani River, approximately 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.

The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants strongly condemned the deliberate Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians seeking to return to their occupied villages within the timeframe specified by the ceasefire agreement.

The Ministry affirmed in a statement that Lebanon has fully adhered to the ceasefire agreement, while the Israeli side, "which is equally obligated to implement it, evades its commitments, particularly regarding the withdrawal from occupied Lebanese territories."

Beirut called on the sponsors of the agreement and all international parties concerned with stability and calm in southern Lebanon to condemn "Israel’s" attacks on civilians.

It also urged increased pressure to compel "Israel" to adhere to its obligations under the agreement and to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from all occupied Lebanese territories "so that the Lebanese Armed Forces can fully extend their authority over southern Lebanese lands in accordance with the provisions of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701."
