Hezbollah has dismissed the recently extended ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel as ineffective, citing continued Israeli military actions despite the U.S.-brokered agreement.
The Iran-backed group said the truce “has no value” as Israeli forces persist with airstrikes and operations in southern Lebanon, even after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a three-week extension aimed at stabilizing the situation.
Lebanese authorities reported that an Israeli airstrike in the southern village of Touline killed two people, underscoring the fragile nature of the ceasefire.
In response, Hezbollah claimed it shot down an Israeli Hermes 450 drone, signaling that hostilities are still ongoing despite diplomatic efforts.
Israel, however, maintains that its continued military actions are necessary for security, particularly within a self-declared “buffer zone” inside Lebanese territory, where clashes with Hezbollah fighters have persisted.
The ceasefire, first introduced in mid-April, has been marred by repeated violations from both sides, raising doubts about its durability.
The United Nations has also warned that ongoing attacks by Israel and rocket fire from Hezbollah could breach international humanitarian law, as the conflict continues to take a heavy toll on civilians.
