Lebanese lawmaker Ihab Hamadeh says Hezbollah will not hesitate to respond to Israel’s flagrant violations of the April 16 ceasefire deal, Iran’s state-run Press TV reports

“Whilst Hezbollah is genuinely adhering to the truce, it will adequately address any Israeli breaches of the agreement,” Hamadeh says.

He adds, “As per reports from President Joseph Aoun, government officials, and Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces General Rodolphe Haykal, Hezbollah has honoured all clauses of the November 27, 2024, ceasefire agreement. Israel, on the other hand, has failed to do so, and is pressing ahead with its violations, genocide, demolitions, and expansionism.”

The Lebanese lawmaker notes that Hezbollah is adhering to the ceasefire, and its measures are all in retaliation for Israeli breaches.

“The (Israeli) violations have become fairly commonplace, and the ceasefire agreement is being observed unilaterally,” Hamadeh states.
