Context

According to NNA, Israel has been carrying out attacks on Lebanon since March 2: thousands of people have been killed and wounded, and more than 1.5 million residents have been displaced. On June 26, Lebanon and Israel signed a US-sponsored framework agreement providing for the phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanese territory, the deployment of the Lebanese army and the disarmament of Hezbollah. Despite the agreement, Israel continued attacks on southern Lebanon and continues to hold Lebanese territories — both those held for decades and those seized during recent wars and operations.
