On Wednesday night, Israeli troops entered the border town of Blida, attacking the town hall and killing the municipal official Ibrahim Salameh, who was sleeping there. The Israeli army confirmed the action, stating that it opened fire after identifying an "immediate threat" during an operation against Hezbollah. The incident is under investigation, and authorities have not determined whether Salameh was a deliberate target.
The Lebanese President Aoun condemned the attack, considering it part of Israeli aggression, and called for respect for the ceasefire agreement from November 2024. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam denounced the incursion as an attack on Lebanese sovereignty. The Lebanese army has deployed troops in the area, and the UN has requested additional information about the incident. Israel continues its attacks in Lebanon, despite the truce, claiming that its actions aim to prevent the strengthening of Hezbollah in the south.
