An Israeli force infiltrated today, Saturday, into the southern outskirts of the town of Deir Mimmas in the Marjeyoun district of southern Lebanon, and headed towards the olive groves, where it remains stationed in the area until now.

In the aftermath, the municipality of Deir Mimmas urged residents not to head to the fields or olive orchards for security reasons, requesting adherence to this measure until September 28, with a new notice to be issued after this date according to developments and field conditions.

Simultaneously, Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes targeting the Jabal Al-Rafi area in the heights of the Tuffah region in southern Lebanon.

It is noteworthy that the war in the Middle East, which began with a US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28, extended to Lebanon on March 2, with Hezbollah launching rockets at Israel "in retaliation" for the killing of leader Ali Khamenei.

In response, Israel launched a wide campaign of airstrikes and a ground invasion of areas in southern Lebanon. These attacks resulted in the deaths of at least 4,300 people, according to Lebanese authorities.

The pace of violence decreased after Lebanon and Israel signed a framework agreement on June 26, following five rounds of direct negotiations under American sponsorship, which stipulated the disarmament of Hezbollah and Israel's gradual withdrawal from the territories it occupies in southern Lebanon, with the deployment of the Lebanese army starting from "experimental" areas.

However, Israel continues to occupy areas in southern Lebanon, where it announced the establishment of a "security zone" extending 10 kilometers deep along the border, and is carrying out airstrikes, bombings, and demolitions of homes and buildings, claiming they target Hezbollah facilities.
