Amid escalating tensions in southern Lebanon, Israeli forces shot at residents attempting to return to Houla, resulting in one death and multiple injuries. This incident coincides with an impending ceasefire deadline on February 18, which entails a full Israeli military withdrawal. Hezbollah's leadership stresses that Israel must completely vacate Lebanese territory as part of the agreement, while internal strife escalates due to geopolitical pressures and the recent revocation of an Iranian flight to Beirut. The situation remains fluid as Hezbollah calls for increased political pressure on the Lebanese government regarding territorial sovereignty.
