Israel accuses Hezbollah of multiple violations of ceasefire

The Israeli army accused Hezbollah of two “blatant” violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon on Tuesday.

Israel said Hezbollah launched several rockets toward Israeli army forces south of the forward defense line in southern Lebanon on Tuesday evening. Israel responded by striking the launcher from which they were fired, the army said.

The Israeli army also said alerts issued in Kibbutz Yuval and Mevo Dotan, both in northern Israel, were not false alarms, contrary to unnamed reports, but were due to a drone being intercepted from Lebanon before it crossed into Israeli airspace.

Israel and Lebanon agreed to an uneasy truce for 10 days on April 16 at the urging of President Trump and the United States. Israel said it would still defend itself with attacks on Hezbollah when threatened.
