Beirut: The fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, brokered on November 27, has been violated, leading to renewed hostilities and escalating tensions in the region.
The ceasefire, which aimed to halt the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, has been breached multiple times, according to reports from both sides.
On December 2, Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri accused Israel of committing 54 violations of the ceasefire agreement. These alleged violations include drone strikes, air raids, and artillery shelling, resulting in casualties and significant damage to infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
Berri condemned these actions as “flagrant violations” and called for immediate international intervention to ensure compliance with the ceasefire terms.
In response, Hezbollah launched missiles at an Israeli military position in the disputed Shebaa Farms area, describing the attack as a “defensive warning strike”. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the incident, stating that the missiles landed in open areas without causing casualties or damage.
The situation further deteriorated when Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple locations in southern Lebanon, killing at least nine people and injuring several others. The IDF justified these strikes as necessary responses to Hezbollah’s provocations and ongoing threats.
