Israel violates ceasefire agreement with Lebanon again, carries out new attacks
The Israeli military continues to violate last month’s ceasefire agreement with Lebanon by carrying out fresh attacks on the country.
The Israeli army’s new strikes hit the Nabatieh region in southern Lebanon on Thursday.
The regime claimed they targeted medium-range rocket launchers operated by the Hezbollah resistance movement.
The Lebanese media reported at least three Israeli strikes in the area.
Israeli forces also set several houses on fire in the Aitaroun area.
The regime’s warplanes also struck a building, which the Israeli military claimed was an arms depot.
The ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon entered into force on November 27. Since then, the regime has violated the agreement on an almost daily basis.
The truce came after months of fierce fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. It will last for 60 days in the hope of reaching a permanent cessation of hostilities.
Under the agreement, an international monitoring committee, headed by the US, is tasked with overseeing the implementation of the ceasefire.
In late December, the UN peacekeeping force expressed concern at the continuing damage done by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon.
The regime’s onslaught began in October 2023 and claimed the lives of more than 4,000 people in Lebanon.
Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement has reiterated that it is in full possession of its capabilities, warning that it will respond decisively to Israeli forces occupying Lebanon once the ceasefire concludes.
Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of Hezbollah's political council, in an interview with the al-Manar network recently, said that the group's missile stockpiles and capabilities remain intact, noting that they continued missile strikes against Israel right up to the moment the ceasefire took effect.
Qamati explained that the current restraint exercised by the resistance is intended to support the Lebanese population and to honor the commitments made to mediators during ceasefire negotiations to allow for a resolution of outstanding issues.
