Hezbollah Claims First Strike Since Ceasefire

Hezbollah has conducted a strike against an Israeli military site, marking the first significant breach of a US-brokered ceasefire established less than a week prior. The group claimed the attack was a defensive response to alleged Israeli violations, which Israeli officials vehemently deny, asserting that they are enforcing the ceasefire. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed a forceful response, stating that any violation by Hezbollah would not go unpunished. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has expressed concern over the ceasefire's fragility, with US officials noting that both sides must exercise restraint to maintain peace. Reports indicate that Israel has been accused of violating the ceasefire through drone surveillance and airstrikes, resulting in civilian casualties. France has also raised alarms about Israeli activities and is working with Lebanon to ensure compliance with the ceasefire terms.
