Gaza Lebanese officials fear the potential collapse of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah due to continuous Israeli violations, security and political sources in Beirut told The National.

The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon, UNIFIL, urged swift Israeli withdrawal, citing violations of a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. Under the deal, Hezbollah must move north, and Israel withdraws from the south.

Israel won’t permit Hezbollah operatives to return to villages in southern Lebanon and reestablish infrastructure that would pose a threat to Israeli communities, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday.
