Israel Claims Ceasefire Violation, Fires on Southern Lebanon

 

Just hours after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect, Israel has accused Hezbollah of violating the truce and responded with tank fire on six areas in southern Lebanon. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States and France, was intended to halt over a year of hostilities and allow displaced residents to return to their homes.

The Israeli military reported that several suspects, some in vehicles, were identified in the southern zone, breaching the conditions of the ceasefire.

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah accused Israel of attacking civilians returning to their villages. The situation remains tense as both sides monitor the ceasefire's implementation, with Israeli forces still stationed in southern Lebanon and surveillance drones flying over the area.
