Israel Forcibly Establishing Buffer Zone in Southern Lebanon

Israeli forces have been razing villages in southern Lebanon to establish a buffer zone. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, appearing in a bulletproof vest, publicly declared that 'the war is not over,' signaling the continuation of military operations. Israeli government officials are said to share the view that the current ceasefire represents a 'premature end' to the conflict.

During operations in southern Lebanon, Israeli forces rammed a UN peacekeeping (UNIFIL) vehicle with a tank, drawing sharp international condemnation. The UN immediately issued a protest statement and demanded an explanation from Israel.
