Iranian military warns Israel after reporting dozens of ceasefire violations in Lebanon

Iran’s armed forces have accused Israel of violating the ceasefire in southern Lebanon 84 times since the US-Iran agreement was announced on Sunday.

In a statement carried by Iranian state media, the unified command of Iran’s army said the alleged violations demonstrated Israel’s continued military escalation in Lebanon despite efforts to reduce regional tensions.

The statement warned that Israel “should expect a harsh response” if it “continues to commit crimes and massacre the oppressed people of Lebanon”.

The comments come as Israeli forces continue to carry out strikes across southern Lebanon, including a series of attacks in Nabatieh governorate that Lebanese media reported killed at least four people earlier this week.
