Hezbollah: Any ‘israeli’ effort to violate ceasefire agreement in southern Lebanon will be met with strong resistance

Hezbollah released a statement on Thursday emphasizing the critical need for the complete and comprehensive enforcement of the ceasefire agreement, as stipulated in its provisions. This urgency arises with the approaching expiration of the 60-day deadline for the Israeli forces to fully withdraw from Lebanese territories.

According to a statement, recent intelligence suggests that opposing forces may be planning to postpone their withdrawal and extend their stay in Lebanon. This development urgently requires decisive action from Lebanon’s political leadership and the international sponsors of the agreement.

Close monitoring of the concluding days of this timeline remains crucial to guarantee a full withdrawal, the comprehensive deployment of the Lebanese Army across all Lebanese territories, the expedited return of residents to their respective villages, and the elimination of any justifications or excuses that could lead to a prolonged occupation.

The statement emphasized that any failure to adhere to the 60-day timeline represents a clear breach of the agreement, an infringement on Lebanese sovereignty, and marks the initiation of a new phase of occupation. The statement further asserted that this situation requires the state to utilize all methods and measures permitted by international law to reclaim the territory and remove it from the control of the occupying forces.

Developments are underway and are anticipated to lead to a complete withdrawal in the near future. The statement emphasized that any violation of the agreement or efforts to circumvent obligations on flimsy grounds will not be accepted.

Hezbollah has issued a firm call for strict compliance with the agreement, emphasizing that no concessions will be tolerated.
