IRGC General Killed in Syria, Israel Strikes Lebanon In Ceasefire Violation: Hezbollah, Army

Hezbollah and Israel have accused each other of violating the ceasefire that took effect on November 27 after more than a year of fighting. Lebanese officials reported that Israeli fire wounded two people in a border village, while the Israeli military claimed to have targeted “suspects” in southern Lebanon, accusing them of breaching the ceasefire. Israeli tank fire hit several villages, including Markaba and Wazzani. The Lebanese army alleged multiple violations by Israel, including airstrikes and attacks on Lebanese territory. Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah accused Israel of attacking civilians returning to their homes and reaffirmed Hezbollah’s cooperation with Lebanon’s army. Meanwhile, the Israeli military confirmed an airstrike on a Hezbollah rocket facility, the first since the ceasefire began, stating it would enforce the agreement and respond immediately to any further violations. In a related development, Hezbollah ally Iran condemned Israeli actions, with the death of a senior Iranian adviser in Syria and escalating violence between pro-Iran factions and Syrian forces. Despite the ceasefire, the Houthis in Yemen vowed to continue their attacks on Israel in support of the Palestinian cause. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
