A BBC team accompanying a UN peacekeeping force humanitarian mission inside southern Lebanon reported that Israeli troops are fortifying existing positions and continuing demolitions in the area, despite the region falling under a ceasefire framework. Lebanese officials say the expansion undermines the truce. A new report from Save the Children adds to concerns about the human toll of Israel's Lebanon operations, finding that an average of seven children are killed or injured daily as a result of the invasion, despite the government-to-government agreement to halt fighting. The findings underscore the gap between the formal ceasefire and continued military activity and civilian harm on the ground.
