Displaced Lebanese residents were shot by Israeli forces as they returned to southern Lebanon despite warnings that troops had yet to withdraw.

Israeli troops opened fire in south Lebanon on Sunday, killing 10 residents and a Lebanese soldier, health officials said as hundreds of people tried to return to their homes on the deadline for Israel to withdraw.

Lebanon said 15 people were killed on Sunday in confrontations with Israeli forces in the south of the country. The deaths came after a deadline expired for Israeli troops to withdraw from southern Lebanon as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and the Iranian-allied Lebanese Hezbollah movement.
