Lebanese Army assists returning residents amid Israeli violations in South Lebanon
The Lebanese Army announced in a statement that it continues to accompany returning residents to southern border towns and stands by them in the face of ongoing Israeli aggression.
Acting in line with its national duty, the army remains steadfast despite Israel's persistent attacks targeting both civilians and military personnel, which have resulted in a significant number of casualties. The Israeli army has refused to comply with the ceasefire agreement and withdraw from Lebanese territory.
Meanwhile, Lebanese forces are advancing their operations by entering and deploying across several southern towns, ensuring a stable security environment for the returning residents. The army has called on citizens to adhere to the guidance of military units to guarantee their safety and facilitate a smooth return process.
The Lebanese military reaffirmed its commitment to closely monitoring the evolving situation in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and the mechanism committee overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

Report: Lebanon urges Israeli pullout in return for Hezbollah arms handover declaration
by Naharnet Newsdesk 29 June 2025, 13:38 The Lebanese response to U.S. envoy Tom Barrack's paper is based on the 'step-for-step' principle, 'contrary to the U.S. envoy's paper which calls on the Lebanese side to be handed over Hezbollah's arms as a gateway for U.S. pressure on Israel to withdraw from the South,' Lebanese officials told Al-Jadeed TV. 'The Lebanese amendments include a proposal for synchronous steps by the two sides, starting by the Lebanese government's declaration that Hezbollah's arms will be handed over and followed by a gradual Israeli withdrawal from some border points, after which the process of handing over weapons in the North Litani area would begin, as a third phase synchronized with full Israeli withdrawal,' the sources added. The visitors of Ain el-Tineh and the Grand Serail meanwhile told Al-Jadeed that Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam were 'relieved' after their meeting on Saturday. 'Berri assumed the responsibility of relaying the format to Hezbollah to obtain its official stance on it within the next two days,' the visitors said.

Qassem says Hezbollah 'capable of confronting Israelis'
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a Ashoura commemorations televised speech overnight that the "ongoing aggression" by Israel "must not be allowed to continue." "The (Lebanese) state must exert pressure, and it must fulfill all of its duties," he said, insisting Hezbollah had held up its end of the ceasefire bargain. "Do you imagine we will remain silent forever? No. Everything has its limits," he warned. He added that Hezbollah is 'capable of confronting the Israelis' if needed and that it 'can win' through performing 'its duty, praying to God and depending on God.' God 'will send us his angels' to support us on the battlefield, Qassem went on to say. Stressing that Hezbollah should not hand over its weapons before Israel implements its part of the ceasefire agreement, Qassem warned: "Let no one mess with us, let no one play with us and let no one say that they are capable of subjugating us."

UK police studying Glastonbury performances after anti-Israel chants
British police said they were considering whether to launch an investigation after performers at Glastonbury Festival made anti-Israel comments during their shows. "We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon," Avon and Somerset Police, in western England, said on X late on Saturday. Irish hip-hop group Kneecap and punk duo Bob Vylan made anti-Israeli chants in separate shows on the West Holts stage on Saturday. One of the members of Bob Vylan chanted "Death, death, to the IDF" in a reference to the Israel Defense Forces. "Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the police statement said. The Israeli Embassy in Britain said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival". Prime Minister Keir Starmer said earlier this month it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to appear at Glastonbury. The band's frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He has denied the charge. A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. "I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News. "I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.
