Massive damage and disruptions… and a guaranteed session?

It was reported in the electronic newspaper Al-Anbaa:

The second day of the ceasefire was marked by political, diplomatic and security developments, as the forcibly displaced people completed their return to their cities and towns in the south, the sub- towns and the Bekaa in a scene that did not differ much from the day before. , despite their previous knowledge that the homes of many of them were severely damaged as a result of Israeli bombing and devastating raids, which… Only a few of them were saved and are no longer fit for habitation, according to which the sources accompanying this product indicated in communication with Al-Anbaa newspaper. Electronic.

However, these sources looked at many Israeli violations and considered them violations of the ceasefire agreement, the most prominent of which was the attack targeting the town of Al-Bisariya in the Sidon region, which as well as shooting from medium weapons at convoys of returnees to prevent them from going to their villages and towns because it is considered an area under the control of the Israeli enemy. The spokesman of the enemy army, Avichai Adraee, pointed to a group of border towns, preventing their residents from returning to them for their safety. Among them are Al-Khiam, Bint Jbeil, Shama, Bara’shit, Blida, Kfarkila and Yaroun.

The army continues to use it

However, imposing a curfew in Israel and preventing people from returning to their villages near the border, and next to the Israeli occupation forces in the south, is dangerous and a serious violation on the ceasefire agreement.

These violations would delay the implementation of the agreement, allowing Hezbollah to adopt the same method, which was expressed by a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc, MP Hassan Fadlallah, saying, “Hezbollah will respond to any attack on Israel is open. “, refusing to talk about military presence for Hezbollah. This was interpreted as statements that contradicted Hezbollah’s position that he announced on the eve of the ceasefire agreement.
