Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of a “serious violation” of the ceasefire in Lebanon on Monday after the militant group targeted a military position.
“Hezbollah’s firing at Har Dov is a serious violation of the ceasefire and Israel will respond forcefully. We are determined to uphold the ceasefire and respond to any violation by Hezbollah, no matter how minor or serious,” Netanyahu said in a statement, referring to a disputed area on the Israel-Lebanon border known internationally as Shebaa Farms.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed a “harsh response” to a Hezbollah rocket launch targeting a military position on Monday in breach of the ceasefire in Lebanon that began last week.
“We promised to act against any violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah — and that’s exactly what we will do. Hezbollah’s fire toward an (Israeli army) post on Mount Dov will be met with a harsh response,” the minister said on X, referring to the disputed area on the Israel-Lebanon border.
