Israeli troops fired warning shots to "remove threats of suspects"

Israeli forces killed at least 24 people and injured more than 134 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.

It said in a statement that its troops fired warning shots to "remove threats in a number of areas where suspects were identified approaching." It added that a number of suspects in proximity to Israeli troops were apprehended and were being questioned.
