Israeli army says attacks in Lebanon fall under ceasefire terms

The Israeli military said it carried out new strikes in southern Lebanon against "threats south of the yellow line" despite a ceasefire.

Al Jazeera reported continued artillery, shelling and machinegun fire on several villages, along with two air strikes, including one targeting a group of Hezbollah fighters “approaching the yellow line” and another aimed at a man near a tunnel entrance.

Israel said it “carried out a strike on him and destroyed that tunnel entrance,” adding the actions did not violate the ceasefire, which allows it to act in "self-defence" under terms released by the US State Department.

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem called the ceasefire document an insult to Lebanon and said the group would not allow continued Israeli attacks while awaiting negotiations.
