The Israeli Defense Forces have stated that their forces continue to operate in southern Lebanon within a security zone extending approximately 10 kilometers into the country. The operations are described as necessary for 'operational needs' and aimed at 'eliminating threats.' Earlier in the day, Lebanese media reported Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon despite a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement that excludes such actions. The agreement, signed by the presidents of both countries, includes a ceasefire in Lebanon. Iran has warned that if Israel attacks Lebanon, the agreement will be terminated.
