Netanyahu threatens Hezbollah after latest “warning strike”

“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of a "serious violation" of the ceasefire in Lebanon on Monday after the Lebanese group announced earlier it had carried out a “warning strike” due to multiple “Israeli” violations of agreement on Nov. 27.

"Hezbollah's firing at Har Dov is a serious violation of the ceasefire and Israel will respond forcefully. We are determined to uphold the ceasefire and respond to any violation by Hezbollah, no matter how minor or serious," Netanyahu said in a statement, referring to an area occupied near the “Israel”-Lebanon border known internationally as Shebaa Farms.

Earlier today, Hezbollah said Monday it fired a warning strike in response to repeated “Israeli” violations of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect last Wednesday.

“The strike targeting the Roueisat Al-Alam military site in the occupied Lebanese hills of Kfar Shuba,” the statement by the Lebanese group said.

It added that the “Israeli” violations of the ceasefire included “gunfire on civilians, airstrikes across various parts of Lebanon leading to civilian casualties and injuries, and continuous breaches of Lebanese airspace by Israeli aircraft reaching the capital, Beirut” which prompted this action.

“Despite multiple appeals to relevant authorities to halt these aggressions, no resolution was achieved.”

"The warning has been delivered,” Hezbollah’s statement concluded.
