THE Israeli Army is withdrawing from the positions it took during its offensive south of the Litani River, as laid down in UN Security Council Resolution 1701, to give way to the Lebanese soldiers and UN peacekeeping troops who will monitor the ceasefire.

Hizbollah’s resistance led to 117 deaths and 400 injuries for the Israeli forces, dozens of them officers.

What the United States and its right-hand executor, Israel, believed would be another shameless victory was a total rejection and a significant defeat in response to the genocide inflicted on Lebanon.

The announcement of these unexpected casualties caused much commotion in Israel, as did the international condemnation of its invasion and the backing it received from the United States.

Devastated lands full of Dantesque images is how the media described the scene in Lebanon south of the Litani River, where aid vehicles can now enter, according to Prensa Latina.

Search and rescue teams have recovered 42 bodies in the Lebanon border area since the start of the ceasefire with Israel, according to police reports, which also informed that bodies were found in villages and in highly populated areas like the city of Tiro, where citizens were killed by Israeli shelling.

PL reported that search operations had not begun in some border towns still occupied by Israel, the areas most affected by the invading army’s bombings and ground operations.
