Israeli forces in southern Lebanon on Sunday opened fire on protesters demanding their withdrawal in line with a ceasefire agreement, resulting in at least 22 fatalities and 124 injuries, as reported by Lebanese health officials.
The White House announced an extension of the deadline for Israeli troops to depart southern Lebanon until Feb. 18, following Israel's request for more time to withdraw beyond the initial 60-day deadline stipulated in the ceasefire agreement that ended the Israel-Hezbollah war in late November.
