Ceasefire in Lebanon Under Strain

A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah that began on April 16 has seen increased tensions in recent days. Despite the official truce, both sides have continued to engage in attacks against each other.

The ceasefire was established after six weeks of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. However, since its inception, there have been reports of violations by Israeli forces. Since then, both parties have maintained a pattern of attacks.

According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least 51 people were killed in Israeli attacks across Lebanon on Sunday, including two medical workers. The ministry stated that the Israeli enemy continues to violate international laws and humanitarian norms.

The United Nations has reported that at least 103 Lebanese medical workers have been killed and 230 injured in over 130 Israeli strikes since Israel’s war on Lebanon began on March 2.

Ali Safiuddin, head of the Lebanese Civil Defence in Tyre, expressed concerns about the safety of medical personnel and first responders. “We’re under threat every second, every day,” he said.

Dr. Tahir Mohammed, a war surgeon and humanitarian worker, noted similarities between Israeli actions in Lebanon and Gaza. “If Israel had their way, they would absolutely occupy the entire southern region of Lebanon,” he stated.

On Monday, Israeli air strikes hit two people and wounded five in the town of Abba. Warplanes also renewed raids on the town of Kfar Remman for the second time in less than an hour. The Israeli military issued a warning to residents of nine areas in southern Lebanon to flee before potential Israeli strikes.

Hezbollah has continued to strike Israeli forces, targeting Israeli troop gatherings, Merkava tanks, bulldozers, and military equipment.
