Hezbollah rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s accusation that it was jeopardising a ceasefire, and said it would keep responding to Israel’s violations and its occupation of south Lebanon.
In a statement, Hezbollah said its attacks on Israeli targets in south Lebanon and northern Israel were “a legitimate response to the enemy’s persistent violations of the ceasefire since the first day of the announcement of the temporary truce”.
“Hezbollah affirms clearly and firmly that the enemy’s continued ceasefire violations… and above all its continued occupation of Lebanese territory and violations of its sovereignty will be met with a response and a resistance that is… ready to defend its land and people,” the statement said.
