Lebanese army continues to be deployed in eastern sector villages as Israeli forces remain stationed in certain areas. Lebanon and the US have extended the deadline for Israeli forces' withdrawal from southern Lebanon to Feb. 18. The Lebanese Red Cross has retrieved the bodies of Hezbollah fighters trapped under rubble since the confrontations began. Israeli hostilities hinder residents' attempts to return to their villages, with Israeli forces opening fire on unarmed civilians. The UN has called for the transformation of the ceasefire into a lasting and sustainable peace in the region.
