"Aoun, Salam, Berri accuse Israel of flagrant ceasefire violation"

This is the headline from an article from the Lebanese news site "Naharnet" dated 06/06/25. It describes an IDF strike on the Beirut area and why it is a violation of the ceasefire agreement in the eyes of the Lebanese. Of course as usual the US backed Committee that was set up to deal with violations will do nothing. The agreement spells out that if Hezbollah violations are suspected they are supposed to be reported to the Lebanese for their military to investigate and take action. But the position of the Israeli government seems to be that they will act alone on what they feel are violations.

"A Lebanese army official said the army had attempted to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations. Israeli army officials could not immediately be reached for comment."

It has been regularly breaking it in Lebanon too. But like a King of the international arena, it is allowed to break agreements and laws.

For how much longer?

Ahead of the strikes, which began shortly after 10 p.m., the IDF said it had “identified that Hezbollah’s aerial unit is working to produce many thousands of UAVs, under the guidance and funding of Iranian terror officials.”

This was happening, the military said, “despite the understandings between Israel and Lebanon” as laid out in a November ceasefire agreement that halted more than a year of fighting along Israel’s northern border.

“This activity is a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The Hezbollah terror organization creates challenges for the Lebanese state and thus impairs the implementation of the understandings,” the IDF asserted.

In a later statement, the IDF said Hezbollah’s aerial forces launched over 1,000 explosive and surveillance drones at Israel during the war last year, and was currently working, despite the ceasefire deal, to strengthen its capabilities.

That's a flagrant violation of the cease fire agreement, no?
