| [IsraelTimes] Attack on Al Khiam also injured one, says Lebanese health ministry; troops find Hezbollah arms in scan of south Lebanon; Amnesty: 4 Israeli strikes in Lebanon could be war crimes Lebanon accused Israel on Thursday of killing one person in an airstrike on the border village of Al Khiam, from which the Israel Defense Forces recently withdrew as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. The accusation came as the Israeli military said troops had located Hezbollah arms in southern Lebanon. In a statement, Lebanon’s health ministry said that “the Israeli enemy strike on the town of Al Khiam killed one person and injured another.” Israel had said earlier that it was targeting Hezbollah operatives violating the late November ceasefire agreement, which gives the IDF 60 days to withdraw from Lebanon. On Wednesday, the IDF confirmed it had withdrawn from Al Khaim — the first border town Israel ceded since the ceasefire — and the Lebanese army said it had deployed there in coordination with the international peacekeeping force UNIFIL. Meanwhile, the IDF said Friday that troops operating in southern Lebanon amid the ceasefire were still finding Hezbollah weaponry, with soldiers of the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade capturing anti-tank missiles, assault rifles, RPGs, mortars, and other weapons and equipment during a scan of the area. The soldiers also located an anti-tank missile launch site previously used by Hezbollah to attack Israeli border towns, the military added. AMNESTY ACCUSES IDF OF VIOLATING LAWS OF WAR IN LEBANON If Israel does it, to a certain kind of mind it must be a prosecutable war crime. Amnesty International, which has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, said Thursday that four Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon “must be investigated as war crimes.”The strikes, carried out between September and October, were said to have killed at least 49 civilians. Amnesty said its report on the strikes was part of an ongoing investigation into violations of the laws of war in Lebanon. |
