The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) violated the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, which was brokered by the United States, at least 12 times on December 4, according to Lebanon’s official National News Agency.
Violations were documented in the districts of Tyre, Marjayoun and Bent Jbeil in southern Lebanon as well as in the capital Beirut, the agency reported, noting that the violations included the destruction of homes, artillery shelling, warplanes flights, gunfire and incursions.
The agency said that an Israeli drone struck a vehicle in the town of Majdal Zoun in Tyre, while the Israeli artillery shelled the Marjayoun Plain at least three times over the past day.
The IDF also opened fire toward neighborhoods in Bint Jbeil town, destroyed homes in the town of Khiam and conducted artillery shelling on the town of Kfarkela, it added.
In addition, Israeli warplanes were spotted flying over Beirut and southern Lebanon at a low altitude in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Confirming some of the attacks, the IDF said that it struck a rocket launcher of Hezbollah that was spotted in Majdal Zoun.
The rocket launcher “posed a threat to the State of Israel while violating the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military said in a statement, adding that Hezbollah weapons found in Khiam, al-Sawana, and Aitaroun were demolished.
“The IDF is deployed in southern Lebanon and acts against any threat that endangers the State of Israel,” the military continued.
Under the ceasefire agreement, which came under effect on November 27, the IDF will have 60 days to withdraw from the towns it currently occupies in southern Lebanon. During the same period, the Lebanese military will take responsibility for the region and a U.S.-led committee will be established to adjudicate complaints regarding potential ceasefire violations.
Hezbollah is also supposed to leave southern Lebanon, and its military infrastructure should be dismantled. The U.S. has also reportedly provided a side letter specifying Israel’s rights to respond to any violations of the ceasefire.
Earlier in the week, the IDF and Hezbollah exchanged strikes for the first time since the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon came into effect over accusations of violations.
The ceasefire put an end to 14 months of clashes on the Israeli-Lebanese border which broke out on the day after the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack from the Gaza Strip. The fighting claimed the lives of more than 4,000 in Lebanon and at least 121 others in Israel.

jews -> train -> poland
smh, ceasefire my @ss
israel might adopt the approach of philip iv of france, who spent a year arranging to have every templar in france arrested on the same day in 1307. israel could have the u.s. allow it to use the cease-fire to gradually surround all hezbollah sites up to the litani, upon which it could launch air & ground attacks on all simultaneously.
anyone who thinks the dirty jewrats will “honor” ceasefires or treaties etc… are gullible retards.
jews only understand terror and death.
the sooner they are incinerated, the better off the world will be.
this is why i don’t understand on why hezbollah accepted the ceasefire..
exactly! hezbollah doing ceasefire with israeli scum was the most stupid, weak and embarrasing thing i’ve ever seen (apart from shia highest iraqi cleric al-sistani flying to uk amid us&ukv s iraq war 2003-2011, for alleged ” heart operation”). iran is traitors and they make stupid deals with joos and scum alike all the times.
