She looks more and more fragile truce to Lebanonwith the Israeli military confirming that it is conducting operations in Lebanese territory in response to what it says are “threats” it faces, with Lebanon and the truce guarantor forces the US and France warning Israel against such violations.

The Israeli army (IDF) said today it attacked military vehicles moving near Hezbollah military infrastructure in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley, with the speaker of the Lebanese parliament accusing Israel of a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire.

Soldiers also attacked military vehicles used to transport weapons near the border between Syria and Lebanon in Hermel, the Israeli military said in a statement, noting that a Lebanese soldier was wounded in one of the Israeli strikes.

At the same time, the IDF emphasized that it carried out multiple strikes in Lebanon yesterday, following actions that Hezbollah says “which posed a threat to the State of Israel and violated the agreements between Israel and Lebanon».

Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri, an ally of Hezbollah, accused Israel of a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire. In a statement, Berry called on the commission responsible for overseeing the cease-fire, which includes the US and France, “to urgently take action and force Israel to stop its violations and withdraw” from the Lebanese territory.

According to the Lebanese authorities, at least two people were killed today in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced that one person was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Marzayoun, near the border with Israel.

Earlier, the Lebanese army reported that an Israeli drone targeted a Lebanese army excavator that was carrying out fortification work inside the Al-Abarra military base near Lebanon’s border with Syria. One soldier was injured, he said.

Lebanon’s state security also said a drone strike killed a member of its force while on duty in Nabatieh, 12km from the border. State security called the incident a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire.

Israel and Hezbollah began to implement ceasefire last Wednesday 27 November under a US-proposed deal for a 60-day ceasefire to end more than a year of hostilities.

The truce stipulates that Israel will not conduct offensive military operations against civilian, military or other state targets in Lebanon, and Lebanon will prevent any armed groups, including Hezbollah, from conducting operations against Israel.

US and French warnings against Israeli violations

The US and France, guarantor powers for the implementation of the agreement, warned Israel of violations of the truce. Israeli media reported that US special envoy Amos Hoxtyn warned Israel that it was violating parts of the ceasefire agreement. Hochstein reportedly told Israel that it must abide by the agreement. Specifically, he cited Israeli drone flights over Beirut.

Yesterday, France accused Israel of 52 ceasefire violations. Today, in a telephone call, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barot stressed to his Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa’ar the “need for all parties to respect the ceasefire in Lebanon”.

Israeli sources speaking to Israeli media claimed that although Israel is acting against Hezbollah’s own violations, the IDF has not communicated, as required by the ceasefire agreement, through the appropriate channels Hezbollah’s violations to the international watchdog led by the US and France .
