Why it matters:
These repeated violations undermine UN Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024.
Lebanon’s resistance groups, including Hezbollah, have maintained their commitment to the truce, while Israel’s aggressions escalate instability and civilian suffering.
The strikes expose a stark imbalance, with Lebanon’s resistance focused on defense while Israel continues its relentless offensive operations.
The big picture:
Israel claims its attacks target Hezbollah’s military infrastructure, but Lebanese officials argue the strikes aim to destabilize the country and block the Lebanese army’s deployment under the ceasefire.
International criticism is mounting, with Lebanon’s president denouncing the strikes as violations of national stability.
Key points:
Israeli drones and warplanes enter Lebanese airspace almost daily, bombing villages and causing civilian casualties.
The EU’s Foreign Affairs Spokesman urged Israel to halt aggressions that breach the ceasefire and Resolution 1701.
Lebanese resistance groups argue that Israel’s repeated violations prove the need for their continued armed presence.
What they’re saying:
EU: “Israel must cease all actions that violate Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement.”
Lebanese Army: Israel is trying to “undermine Lebanon’s stability” and block the army’s deployment.
President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes as unjustified aggression.
Go deeper:
The EU’s condemnation underscores growing global concern that Israel’s daily airspace violations and bombings are eroding the fragile ceasefire, while Lebanon’s resistance insists it remains committed to defending the country against ongoing aggression.
