The Lebanese government fears that the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel will not last. “We are sitting on a time bomb that we don’t know when it will explode again,” said a Lebanese government official. Violations of the agreement would raise concerns.
As reported, a ceasefire intended to end fighting between the Israeli army and the pro-Iranian Hezbollah militia came into effect on November 27. It was negotiated between representatives of the US and France and will initially last for approximately two months. Tensions have remained high since then, with both sides accusing the other of violating the ceasefire. There were also deaths.
Border crossings attacked
Just this Friday, Israeli fighter jets attacked seven border crossings between Syria and Lebanon. This is intended to prevent arms deliveries to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. According to the Israeli army, a truck containing a rocket launcher was also seized. Lebanese security sources confirmed the attacks.
According to Lebanese sources, Israel has violated the ceasefire 259 times since November 27. On the Lebanese side, 44 Hezbollah members were killed in violation of the agreement, Israeli media reported. The information could not be independently verified.
Analysts consider disarmament important
However, experts have recently reassured that they do not see the ceasefire in danger. Disarming Hezbollah is important to the deal, said political analyst Makram Rabah. As long as Hezbollah does not respond to attacks, analyst Riad Kahwaji also rules out a collapse. “I think Hezbollah will not do it because they know they will face a huge counterattack,” he said.
