  1. A massive explosion occurred at dawn on Sunday in the border town of Khiam in the Marjeyoun district in southern Lebanon, likely as a result of an Israeli army attack, in a new violation of the ceasefire agreement that went into effect on Wednesday.


The Lebanese News Agency said, "A huge explosion occurred in the town of Khiam at dawn, and it is likely that the Israeli enemy carried out a bombing operation against some houses and buildings," without further details.


Later, the agency reported that explosions were heard on Sunday morning on the outskirts of the towns of Yaroun and Maroun in the Tyre district in the south of the country.


These explosions represent the latest violations by the Israeli army after the ceasefire was declared with Hezbollah in Lebanon last week.


Yesterday, Saturday, an Israeli drone flew over the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and its southern suburbs for the first time since the ceasefire, at a low altitude, without knowing the reasons, according to the Lebanese News Agency.


On Saturday, the Israeli army committed 24 violations of the ceasefire agreement, bringing the total number of violations since the agreement came into effect last Wednesday to 62, according to statistics prepared by the Anadolu Agency based on the announcements of the official Lebanese News Agency.


These violations resulted in the killing of two people and the injury of six others, bringing the total number of victims in Lebanon since the ceasefire came into effect to two dead and 10 injured.


On Wednesday morning, November 27, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect, ending the mutual shelling that began on October 8, 2023, and then turned into a full-scale war in the last two months.


Back home

On the other hand, the Israeli army continues to warn the residents of dozens of villages in southern Lebanon not to return to their homes until further notice.


Meanwhile, the five-member committee monitoring the ceasefire implementation mechanism is expected to begin its work this week after the arrival of the committee's military chief, US General Jasper Jeffers, two days ago, where he met with Lebanese Army Commander Joseph Aoun.


On another subject, hundreds of Hezbollah supporters gathered yesterday, shedding tears of grief over the former Secretary-General of the party, Hassan Nasrallah, at the site of his death in an Israeli raid in the southern suburbs of Beirut.


In a huge crater left by Israeli airstrikes on September 27 in the rubble-strewn Haret Hreik area, the party's yellow flags were raised, candles were lit and excerpts from Nasrallah's speeches were played from loudspeakers.


Terms of Agreement

The most prominent provisions of the ceasefire agreement include Israel's gradual withdrawal to the south of the Blue Line (the border between Lebanon and Israel) within 60 days, and the deployment of Lebanese army and security forces along the border, crossing points, and the southern region.


The Lebanese army will be the only entity allowed to carry weapons in southern Lebanon, with the dismantling of military infrastructure and sites, the confiscation of unauthorized weapons, and the establishment of a committee to oversee and assist in ensuring the implementation of these obligations.


There are no official details yet on the mechanisms for implementing the terms of the agreement that Washington and Paris will work to ensure are met.


The Israeli aggression on Lebanon resulted in 3,961 deaths and 16,520 injuries, including a large number of children and women. Most of the victims and displaced persons were recorded after September 23, according to official Lebanese data.
