The Shiite group also accused Tel-Aviv of violating the 10-day truce
The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said that fired rockets and drones at northern Israel this Tuesday (21), accusing the Israeli army of violating a ceasefire ahead of US-mediated talks between the governments of Israel and Lebanon this week.
The Israeli military previously said that Iran-aligned Hezbollah had fired several rockets at its troops operating in southern Lebanon in what it described as a “flagrant violation” of the ceasefire agreement. It was not immediately clear whether the incidents were the same.
A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, mediated by Washington, came into force last Thursday (16)but Israeli forces remain positioned in a 5km to 10km belt of Lebanese land along the entire border. Israel has said it intends create a buffer zone to protect the north of the country from attacks by Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group.
Hezbollah, in its statement this Tuesday, accused Israel of attacking civilians and destroying homes, violating the truce. He said he fired at a position in northern Israel that was striking southern Lebanon.
