CAIRO, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Wednesday vowed to continue its resistance and support Palestinians, including fighters, a day after a ceasefire deal between the group and Israel was announced.

In the first statement by Hezbollah’s operations centre since the deal was announced, the group made no direct mention of the ceasefire deal.

“The Islamic resistance’s operations room affirms that its fighters in all military disciplines will remain fully equipped to deal with the aspirations and assaults of the Israeli enemy,” the group said.

    Well, that was on Wednesday…

    Israel’s military said on Thursday it had detected “suspects” in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

    On Thursday morning, Israeli tank fire hit six areas within the border strip, state media said.

    The rounds struck Markaba, Wazzani and Kfarchouba, Khiyam, Taybe and the agricultural plains around Marjayoun — all of which lie within two kilometres of the Blue Line demarcating the border between Lebanon and Israel.

    The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect from 4am local time on Wednesday.

    Israel has already started firing off tanks again because people in Lebanon returned to their homes after the “ceasefire”

    Bibi isn’t the business of giving land back.

    Edit:

    If anyone wants to claim this was “reasonable” I suggest starting with how Israel is allowed to dictate who is allowed where inside of a foreign country they have zero authority over. And where in the ceasefire agreement this was a condition

      On November 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States and France took effect, ending 14 months of intense fighting between Hezbollah and Israel. The ceasefire has been agreed to by Israel, Lebanon, and the mediating countries, but not Hezbollah, which was not an official signatory given its status as a group designated a terrorist organization by the United States. The agreement mandates a 60-day halt to hostilities, during which Hezbollah is to move its fighters north of the Litani River—approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) from the Israel–Lebanon border—and Israeli forces are to gradually withdraw from southern Lebanon. A five-country monitoring panel, led by the United States, will oversee the implementation, with 5,000 Lebanese troops deployed to ensure compliance. Israel retains the right to strike should it face immediate threats to its security.

      The deal came after significant losses for Hezbollah, including the death of its leader Hassan Nasrallah and IDF claims that it destroyed much of Hezbollah’s military infrastructure and missile arsenal, alongside Israeli struggles in its land campaign against Hezbollah. A day earlier, Israeli soldiers arrived at the Litani River for the first time in the war. Israel’s security cabinet endorsed the agreement with a 10–1 vote. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the ceasefire allows Israel to focus on the Iranian threat, replenish its military forces, and isolate Hamas, while also pledging to respond to any attempts to install missiles or dig tunnels near the border. The ceasefire was hailed as a significant accomplishment for the Biden Administration, with US President Joe Biden stating that the agreement was “designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” He further emphasized that “what is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed to threaten the security of Israel again.”

      While the ceasefire offers a temporary relief to both parties, there are concerns over the potential failure to enforce the terms, mirroring the situation following the 2006 Lebanon war and UN Resolution 1701, which called for Hezbollah to disarm. The Lebanese army, weakened by economic crisis and insufficient resources, faces a challenging task in maintaining order in southern Lebanon. Many Lebanese are eager for an end to the conflict, but concerns persist that Hezbollah may disregard the ceasefire and rearm in southern Lebanon. On the Israeli side, the prolonged displacement of civilians near the border and the strain on the military continue to drive the need for a solution.

      Edit: the person who said it was people moving back home was a Hezbollah MP. Dunno if that’s worth taking at face value.

        Both sides are known liars and what they say can’t be taken at face value.

        That being said, one side shot first and probably won’t let international groups into the area they control to verify the claim.

          Which is why it’s surprising the previous comment took the statement at face value.
