Hezbollah said in a statement that an Israeli action near Nabatieh constitutes a 'blatant violation' of the ceasefire it had adhered to, and that it is documenting the breaches while reserving the right to defend Lebanon. The group did not specify the nature of the alleged Israeli action. Israel has not yet responded.
Hezbollah has accused Israel of a 'blatant violation' of the ceasefire in southern Lebanon, following an Israeli action near Nabatieh. In a statement published early Monday, the group said it is monitoring and documenting what it described as breaches, while reserving the right to defend the country. Hezbollah did not provide specifics on the alleged violation, nor did it report any casualties or damage from the incident. The Israeli military has not commented.
The accusation is the latest in a series of tit-for-tat allegations between the two sides since a ceasefire went into effect. Over the past week, both Israel and Hezbollah have leveled similar complaints against each other. The Zioneer has previously reported on Hezbollah's earlier claims of Israeli ceasefire violations (June 23) and on the IDF's own allegations of Hezbollah breaches (June 14). The current statement does not indicate any change in Hezbollah's posture of conditional restraint, which the group articulated in June when it warned of 'proportionate' response to any breach.
No independent verification of the claim was available at the time of drafting.
