BEIRUT: Hezbollah has said that Israel’s escalating attacks on southern Lebanon are aimed at “sabotaging” the interim agreement between the United States and Iran.
In a statement shared by the group’s media relations office, Hezbollah rejected what it described as Israeli claims and accusations of ceasefire violations, saying the allegations were “completely baseless.”
The statement said the accusations were part of what Hezbollah called “persistent attempts” by Israel to mislead public opinion and represented a “clear and blatant effort” to undermine the agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States.
Hezbollah claimed that Israel has carried out more than 300 “violations” and “breaches” of the ceasefire since dawn on Friday. The group said these included air strikes, the use of phosphorus shells, and “internationally prohibited cluster bombs.”
The armed group called on “all countries and officials, especially the United States,” to pressure Israel to implement the agreements and stop its attacks, instead of making accusations against others.
