Jerusalem [Israel], December 2: Hezbollah fired two missiles at Mount Dov, northern Israel, on Monday. This marks the first attack since the ceasefire took effect on Wednesday. Hezbollah described the missile barrage as a “warning” to Israel.
The missile attack came amid claims from the United States and France accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire through surveillance flights over Beirut. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar rejected these allegations, stating, “Israel is enforcing the agreement and responding to Hezbollah’s violations.”
Sa’ar further warned that if Hezbollah does not withdraw its forces north of the Litani River as agreed, Israel would take additional measures.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched airstrikes targeting:
Additionally, the Israeli Air Force intercepted an Iranian plane in Syrian airspace, suspecting it of carrying weapons for Hezbollah, forcing it to return to Tehran.
Under the ceasefire agreement:
The ceasefire, brokered to end the escalating violence, follows weeks of conflict triggered by Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israeli communities. Hezbollah, in solidarity with Hamas, launched daily attacks on northern Israel, displacing over 68,000 residents.
United Nations Resolution 1701 prohibits Hezbollah’s operations in southern Lebanon. However, its repeated violations have fueled ongoing tensions in the region.
