15 reported killed in Lebanon as Israeli forces remain after a withdrawal deadline

Israeli forces killed at least 15 people and injured more than 80 others in southern Lebanon on Sunday after protesters demanded their withdrawal in line with a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, Lebanese authorities said.

The dead included two women and a Lebanese army soldier, the health ministry said in a statement.

Demonstrators, some of them carrying Hezbollah flags, attempted to enter several villages to protest Israel's failure to withdraw from southern Lebanon by the 60-day deadline stipulated in a ceasefire agreement that halted the Israel-Hezbollah war in late November.
