Israeli Violations of Lebanon Ceasefire Surpass 62 Incidents

Beirut (Quds News Network)- Israeli forces have committed 62 violations of the Lebanon ceasefire agreement since it came into effect on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. The breaches include airstrikes, artillery fire, and other aggressive actions.

On Sunday, December 1, Israeli warplanes bombed the southern town of Yaroun in the early morning. The Lebanese News Agency reported three shells were fired near Naba’a Ibl, the Jalahia area, and the Marjeyoun plain around the town of Khiam. Heavy gunfire was also heard.

Saturday alone saw 24 violations, according to an Anadolu Agency report based on Lebanese sources. The breaches targeted Marjeyoun and Bint Jbeil (Nabatieh Governorate), Tyre and Sidon (South Governorate), and Baalbek (Baalbek-Hermel Governorate).

Israel’s military acknowledged the violations, claiming they were aimed at targeting Hezbollah fighters. However, such actions still constitute a breach of the ceasefire agreement.

Hezbollah and International Reactions Towards the Violations

Hezbollah, in its first statement since the ceasefire, pledged to monitor Israeli movements and defend Lebanon’s sovereignty. On Friday, Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem emphasized strong coordination with the Lebanese army. He stated the agreement demands a full Israeli withdrawal from occupied areas south of the Litani River.

Meanwhile, France issued a warning to Israel, urging it not to undermine the ceasefire, as reported by Yedioth Ahronoth.

As Israeli violations increase, fears grow that the fragile agreement may collapse, further destabilizing the region.
