Hezbollah issued a statement early Monday accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire in Lebanon, while simultaneously stating it remains committed to the truce and reserves the right to respond. The IDF has not yet commented.
Hezbollah released a statement early Monday accusing Israel of violating the Lebanon ceasefire, but it also declared it remains committed to the agreement and reserves the right to respond. This follows an earlier bulletin at 02:11 Jerusalem in which Hezbollah made a similar accusation and threatened a response. In that previous report, the group claimed an IDF action in Nabatieh breached the deal. This latest statement echoes the same pattern: accusations of Israeli violations paired with a stated commitment to the ceasefire and a reserved right to act.
The group has a consistent track record of such claims. As The Zioneer reported, on June 23, Hezbollah accused Israel of violating the ceasefire, speaking in Iran's name, a claim Israel denied. On June 26, Hezbollah announced it was not formally bound by the Israel-Lebanon framework deal. On June 25, it accused Israel of a blatant violation. On June 20, it rejected the ceasefire outright, saying it would not halt hostilities.
This latest statement comes alongside news from Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, who said Monday that parliament will not approve the Israel-Lebanon agreement in its current form. Berri has previously relayed messages that Hezbollah is committed to a ceasefire only if Israel fully complies. The IDF has not yet responded to the latest accusation, and the specific nature of the alleged violation remains unclear.
