Syria's Deadliest Days: Over 1,000 Killed in Clashes and Revenge Killings

Israel Claims Ceasefire Violation, Fires on Southern Lebanon

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah accused Israel of attacking civilians returning to their villages. The situation remains tense as both sides monitor the ceasefire's implementation, with Israeli forces still stationed in southern Lebanon and surveillance drones flying over the area.
