BEIRUT (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Lebanese Civil Defense teams recovered on Sunday the bodies of 16 people from under the rubble of destroyed buildings in southern Lebanon.
Nine bodies were retrieved in the town of Tair Harfa and five in Alma al-Shaab, The Lebanese Civil Defense Directorate clarified.
Efforts were ongoing to search for more victims under the rubble in the Lebanese southern towns.
On Nov. 27, a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hezbollah came into force in the hope of ending 14 months of Israeli aggression on Lebanon. It is, however, described as fragile, as over 130 Israeli violations were documented by Lebanon.
Under the terms of the cease-fire, Israel is to withdraw its forces south of the Blue Line de facto border in a phased manner while the Lebanese army deploys its forces in southern Lebanon within a maximum of 60 days.
Over 4,000 people have been killed and more than 16,500 injured in Israeli attacks on Lebanon and over one million others have been displaced since October 2023.
