Netanyahu says Hezbollah ‘dismantling’ ceasefire with Lebanon

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Hezbollah’s actions are threatening the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, as he pledges to “vigorously” target the Iran-backed terror group. “It must be understood that Hezbollah’s violations are, in practice, dismantling the ceasefire,” Netanyahu says during the weekly cabinet meeting.

Under the terms of the truce, which was extended last week, Israel reserves the right to respond to threats from the terror group. “We are acting vigorously in accordance with arrangements agreed with the United States and, incidentally, also with Lebanon,” Netanyahu says. “This means freedom of action not only to respond to attacks, which is obvious, but also to preempt immediate threats and even emerging threats.” (Source)
