Hezbollah reserves the right to defend Lebanon after accusing Israel of violating truce

Hezbollah declared it reserves the right to defend Lebanon, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire. The group alleged that the Israeli army launched attacks on civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon the previous day. Hezbollah stated its monitoring of these violations and its right to protect its homeland and people.

The Shiite militia reported attacks on residential buildings in several towns, including Nabatieh and Taybeh, and artillery impacts in other southern localities. Israel, meanwhile, asserted that its military operations in southern Lebanon would continue and claimed responsibility for destroying a Hezbollah tunnel. This occurred just two days after Israel and Lebanon, with US mediation, signed a framework agreement aimed at achieving lasting peace and security.

The US State Department published the agreement, which includes a roadmap for the Lebanese Armed Forces to gradually assume control in "pilot zones" in southern Lebanon, preceding a phased Israeli withdrawal. It also commits Lebanon to exercising full sovereignty over its territory and working towards the disarmament of non-state armed groups, particularly Hezbollah.

However, the agreement does not specify concrete dates or timelines for these actions, nor does it detail how Hezbollah will be replaced by the Lebanese army. Since March 2, Israel has reportedly killed 4,246 people and injured 12,190 in Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health's Emergency Health Operations Center.

The Islamic Resistance reiterates that what the enemy has done is a flagrant violation of the ceasefire to which it has adhered until now, and therefore Hezbollah is monitoring and following up on these violations and reserves the right to defend its homeland and its people.
