Beirut, MINA – The Israeli occupation army carried out a large-scale demolition in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam on Friday, hours after a ceasefire came into effect, according to official media, as cited by Anadolu Agency.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli forces conducted a “massive” detonation in the town, located in the Marjayoun district.
Separately, the Lebanese army said it had recorded multiple Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement that took effect at midnight.
In a statement carried by NNA, the army said the breaches included intermittent shelling targeting towns and villages in southern Lebanon.

The military urged residents to delay returning to their homes in the south, citing continued risks.
“The army command calls on citizens to wait before returning to southern towns and villages in light of a number of violations of the agreement,” the statement said, urging people to follow the guidance of deployed military units and avoid approaching “dangerous areas.”
The ceasefire, announced Thursday by US President Donald Trump, is set to last for 10 days starting at midnight local time (2100 GMT).
Israel launched an offensive on Lebanon on March 2, killing 2,196 people and injuring 7,185 others, according to official figures. The assault has also displaced more than 1 million people.[]
