Lebanon’s armed group Hezbollah has accused Israeli forces of violating a ceasefire agreement and declared its right to defend the country. The group stated that Israeli military aircraft carried out multiple attacks across southern Lebanon on Sunday, targeting residential buildings in Nabatieh and nearby Mayfadoun, as well as open areas in Faroun and the town of Bint Jbeil. Drone strikes and explosions were also reported in the Taybeh and Hadatha areas.

In a statement, Hezbollah said it was closely monitoring what it described as repeated breaches of the ceasefire and reaffirmed its right to protect Lebanon and its people. The group’s claims come amid ongoing tensions despite a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran that was intended to end hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon.

According to the report, Israel has continued intense and sustained attacks in Lebanon since early March, raising concerns about renewed escalation in the region.
