Israel plans expanded occupation of Lebanon in defiance of US-Iran pact
Israel has expanded its military occupation in southern Lebanon, operating deeper into territory than previously reported, according to a map published by the Israeli army. This move defies the recently signed Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the US and Iran, which demands an immediate halt to fighting between Israel and Lebanon. US President Donald Trump criticized Israel's actions, while Israeli forces continue attacks beyond occupation lines, resulting in civilian casualties in Lebanon.
