Beirut, Sept. 9 (Petra) — The Lebanese Armed Forces reported on
Wednesday that Israel has intensified its targeting of residential
areas and civilian infrastructure over recent days, resulting in
heavy casualties, including a massacre in the southern town of Kfar
Remman that killed at least 12 people, including women and children.

In an official statement, the military said the escalating attacks
and ongoing demolitions across southern Lebanon clear any doubt
regarding Israel’s aggressive intentions. It noted that these actions
violate international law, undermine existing security arrangements,
and impede the army’s efforts to establish stability.

The Lebanese Army affirmed its complete commitment to fulfilling its
obligations under the framework agreement signed on June 26. It
stated that it has begun operational control measures in designated
model zones in coordination with the military coordination group for
Lebanon, according to plans drawn up by army leadership, despite
pending agreements on subsequent phases.

The military reported that Israeli forces have breached the agreement
approximately 7,700 times since its signing, noting that Israeli
troops have also opened fire near army personnel and patrols.

The statement added that repeated violations have triggered new waves
of displacement from areas previously deemed safe, accusing Israel of
attempting to undermine the Lebanese military’s credibility both
domestically and internationally.

The Lebanese Army concluded that a complete cessation of Israeli
attacks and violations remains the essential condition for the
military to finalize its deployment and execute its mandate under the
framework agreement.
