"Aoun, Salam, Berri accuse Israel of flagrant ceasefire violation" [View all]

This is the headline from an article from the Lebanese news site "Naharnet" dated 06/06/25. It describes an IDF strike on the Beirut area and why it is a violation of the ceasefire agreement in the eyes of the Lebanese. Of course as usual the US backed Committee that was set up to deal with violations will do nothing. The agreement spells out that if Hezbollah violations are suspected they are supposed to be reported to the Lebanese for their military to investigate and take action. But the position of the Israeli government seems to be that they will act alone on what they feel are violations.

"A Lebanese army official said the army had attempted to convince Israel not to carry out the strikes and to instead let Lebanese officials go in to search the area under the mechanism laid out in the ceasefire agreement, but that the Israeli army refused, so Lebanese soldiers moved away from the locations. Israeli army officials could not immediately be reached for comment."
