The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) opened fire on "suspects" in southern Lebanon, citing violations of a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah.

Displaced Lebanese residents have begun returning home, yet many express concerns over safety and the ongoing threat from Hezbollah. Meanwhile, the mood in Israel remains cautious as fears about hostages in Gaza linger.
