The Israeli army announced Saturday the establishment of a "yellow line" of demarcation in southern Lebanon, mirroring a similar boundary drawn in Gaza.
In a military statement, the army said its forces had identified armed individuals crossing from north of the line and approaching Israeli troops in a manner that posed an "immediate threat », prompting airstrikes and artillery fire in several sectors of southern Lebanon.
"Immediately after their identification, and in order to remove this threat, the Air Force and ground forces attacked the terrorists in several sectors of southern Lebanon", the statement read, adding that Israel is "authorised to take necessary measures in self-defence », and that such defensive actions are "not limited during the ceasefire period."
The ceasefire, brokered by US President Donald Trump and effective since midnight Friday, was accepted by both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.
Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait on Sunday condemned Israel's completion of work on the so-called "Sufa 53 Line" in Syria's Quneitra province. The three states said the project violates Syrian sovereignty, international law and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday at a ceremony marking the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, that the group would never again hold "any power" in the Gaza Strip, where the question of future governance remains unresolved.
