The Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar channel reported Wednesday evening that the IDF has advanced deeper into southern Lebanon in recent hours and is directly violating the ceasefire. The claim, from a source affiliated with the organization, is unverified by independent sources.
A Hezbollah-affiliated source, the Al-Manar channel, alleged Wednesday at 21:50 Jerusalem time that Israeli forces have advanced deeper into southern Lebanon in the past hours, directly violating the ceasefire. The claim is unverified and carries no specific locations, operational details, or evidence.
The allegation comes amid sustained IDF ground and air operations against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, as documented in prior Zioneer reporting. Over the past two weeks, the IDF has reportedly advanced on multiple axes in the region, including near Ghendourieh, Majdal Zoun, and the Ali al-Taher ridge, according to Lebanese and Hezbollah-affiliated reports. The military has not commented on the latest Al-Manar claim.
What remains unclear: whether the IDF has indeed expanded its ground footprint since the ceasefire took effect, or whether the report reflects a Hezbollah narrative aimed at portraying Israeli non-compliance. The IDF has not responded to the specific allegation.
