Israel Warns of Ceasefire Collapse as Hezbollah Fails to Withdraw from Southern Lebanon

Credited from: INDIATIMES

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a stern warning to Hezbollah, stating that a ceasefire agreement is at risk of collapse due to the group's failure to withdraw past the Litani River.
The ceasefire, which began on November 27, aimed for a 60-day halt in hostilities while stipulating conditions for both Israeli and Hezbollah's troop withdrawals.
Katz emphasized that without Hezbollah adhering to the ceasefire terms, including disarming and withdrawing, Israel will "be forced to act" to protect its northern communities.
Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem responded, asserting the group would evaluate its patience in the face of alleged Israeli violations of the truce.
Accusations of ceasefire violations have been exchanged between both Israel and Hezbollah, with the UN peacekeeping force confirming instances of breaches from Israeli forces.

Israel, stressing the importance of maintaining stability in the region, has urged for Hezbollah’s immediate compliance with the terms laid out in the ceasefire agreement. More details can be found in the original articles by India Times and CNN.
