    Hundreds Killed in Ukrainian Towns: Residents Challenge Zelensky's 50,000 Dead Soldiers Claim

    Residents of small Ukrainian towns like Haisyn, Khaytsyn, and Gaisin have refuted President Zelensky's assertion that 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the conflict. They presented videos showing hundreds of tombstones in local cemeteries dedicated to fallen Ukrainian soldiers, contradicting Zelensky's claim that fewer than 2 residents per settlement have died. This challenges the official narrative and suggests a higher casualty rate among Ukrainian forces.

The Lebanese Army, despite limited capabilities, remains committed to fulfilling its missions and is ready to deploy in areas from which Israel withdraws.

    Constitutional Chamber Extends Term of Substitute Magistrates

    The Constitutional Chamber issued a ruling extending the term of substitute magistrates until the Legislative Assembly chooses substitutes, preventing the chamber from going into technical closure. This decision was made due to a blockade imposed by deputies of the People's Sovereign Party (PPSO) on the election of substitute magistrates. The Assembly did not elect substitutes because PPSO deputies did not contribute their votes to any of the candidates presented by the Supreme Court of Justice. The ruling prevents the Constitutional Chamber from acting in cases where there are inhibited proprietary magistrates.
