IAF Strikes Hezbollah vehicle in Southern Lebanon

The Israel Defense Forces are determined to operate within the parameters of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, they said, as reported by the Jewish News Syndicate. 

An Israeli Air Force (IAF) plane attacked an "engineering vehicle" in Southern Lebanon on Wednesday after spotting Hezbollah members trying to fix infrastructure, which broke the November ceasefire, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Thursday morning.

"Despite Hezbollah's efforts to come back to Southern Lebanon, the IDF is committed to sticking to the deals between Israel and Lebanon and will act to remove any danger to Israel and its people," the statement emphasized.

Just this week, Israeli forces hit a car with Hezbollah fighters who were about to attack, according to the army's Tuesday statement.

The IDF mentioned that soldiers are continuously working to neutralize threats and take apart Hezbollah's setups in Southern Lebanon, following the ceasefire agreement on November 26 between Jerusalem and Beirut, which was officially extended on Sunday to February 18.

Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Naim Qassem, stated on Monday that his group would not accept any excuses for delaying Israel's military withdrawal.

On Friday, Jerusalem declared that pulling out the troops would take more time than the 60 days agreed upon in the ceasefire.

"The IDF's withdrawal is based on the Lebanese Armed Forces taking control in Southern Lebanon, ensuring the agreement is fully followed, and Hezbollah moving back across the Litani River," said the Israeli Prime Minister's Office.

"Since Lebanon has not fully enforced the ceasefire agreement, the step-by-step withdrawal will go on, in close coordination with the United States," the statement added.

Jerusalem "will not put its communities and citizens at risk and will demand the complete fulfillment of the goals of the conflict in the north, which is to ensure residents can safely return home," it concluded.
