BEIRUT, Feb 20 (NNN-NNA) – A Zionist Israeli airstrike on a vehicle, in the southern Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab, murdered one person, yesterday.
Separately, two people were wounded by trigger-happy Israeli soldiers, in the village of Al-Wazzani.
The incidents followed the expiration, early Tuesday, of the deadline for Israel’s full withdrawal from southern Lebanon, under a ceasefire agreement that took effect on Nov 27, last year. While the Zionist Israel has withdrawn from most areas, it maintains positions at five strategic locations.
Arrogant Israeli military spokesperson, Nadav Shoshani, said, the army would maintain a presence at the five hilltop locations, for observation and to “protect communities in northern Israel,” calling it a “temporary measure,” approved by the U.S.-led body, monitoring the ceasefire.
Lebanon’s presidency said on Tuesday that, any remaining Israeli presence on its territory would be considered an “occupation,” reserving the right “to employ all means” to ensure a full withdrawal.
Lebanese authorities have also accused ruthless Israeli forces of continuing airstrikes in southern Lebanon, causing casualties, despite the ceasefire.– NNN-NNA
