Archivist Notes: Israeli ceasefire violation in Lebanon

Ceasefire Agreement Details:

source Drop Site News

Israeli troops will withdraw from southern Lebanon over 60 days, and Hezbollah will relocate north of the Litani River. Lebanese and UN forces will take over security in the south. An international committee, led by the U.S., will monitor compliance. The agreement restricts Hezbollah from targeting Israel while Israel pledges to halt offensive military actions.

Concerns Over Fragility: Experts criticize the deal as a temporary truce, with both Israel and Hezbollah expected to use the period to regroup and rearm. Hezbollah has vowed readiness to defend Lebanese sovereignty and maintain armed resistance if provoked.

Israeli and U.S. Stances: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and U.S. President Biden emphasize Israel's right to self-defense and its freedom of action in Lebanon if threats arise. The U.S. plans continued military support for Israel, including new arms deals.

Hezbollah's Position: While Hezbollah claims a "victory" for resisting Israeli objectives, analysts note its strategic weakening. The group remains prepared for renewed conflict and frames the ceasefire as a pause, not an end, to hostilities.

Gaza and Regional Implications: The ceasefire excludes Gaza, where Israeli attacks persist. Hezbollah’s involvement was initially tied to support for Gaza. Regional actors, including Hamas, cautiously welcome the ceasefire but continue to push for broader negotiations. The ceasefire highlights deep tensions and unresolved issues, with both sides using the agreement as a tactical pause rather than a path to lasting peace.

Since the first day of the ceasefire, Israel has already violated the Lebanon ceasefire multiple times with unsubstantiated claims to justify its ongoing attacks. For example, it says two civilians whom it wounded, and who were returning to their homes in south Lebanon, are "suspects". It also claims, with no evidence, that there was activity that breached the ceasefire at a Hezbollah rocket storage facility in south Lebanon. The following actions constitute multiple violations of the ceasefire agreement, involving both direct targeting of civilians and military incursions into Lebanese territory.

Statement of the Islamic Resistance on December 2 : In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful Permission has been given to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory. God Almighty has spoken the truth Following the repeated violations initiated by the Israeli enemy of the cessation of hostilities agreement announced to have come into effect at dawn on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, which take various forms including firing on civilians and airstrikes in various parts of Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of citizens and the injury of others, in addition to the continued violation of Lebanese airspace by hostile Israeli aircraft reaching the capital Beirut, and since the reviews of the relevant authorities to stop these violations did not succeed, the Islamic Resistance carried out an initial warning defensive response this evening, Monday, targeting the Ruwaysat al-Alam site belonging to the Israeli enemy army in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba Hills. He who warns is excused. Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise. Monday 02 December 2024 AD 29 Jumada Al-Awwal 1446 AH
