The statement added “This attack comes as part of a series of repeated and increasing attacks by the Israeli enemy on citizens, the latest of which was the shooting at a soldier on March 9, 2025 in the town of Kfar Kila – Marjeyoun, which led to his martyrdom, coinciding with the enemy’s continued violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and security.”

Israel released five Lebanese prisoners as the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that Israel and Lebanon plan to hold diplomatic talks on several contentious issues, including their disputed land border.
