Tel Aviv, Israel – An Israeli official confirmed that his country remains committed to the ceasefire on the Lebanese front.
He also indicated that the continuation of the truce is contingent upon Hezbollah refraining from any attacks against Israel.
Israel’s Channel 13 quoted the official as saying that Israel considers itself to be in a state of ceasefire.
However, it will change its position if Hezbollah initiates operations or attacks targeting Israeli territory or its forces.
Linking de-escalation to Hezbollah’s behavior
The official explained that Israel’s current position is based on maintaining the existing calm,
while continuing to monitor developments on the ground along the Lebanese border.
He emphasized that any attack by Hezbollah would elicit an Israeli response.
He added that the security establishment is closely monitoring the situation amidst efforts to solidify the ceasefire.
It is also working to prevent the region from sliding into a new confrontation.
Tension persists despite the agreement
The official remarks come at a time of heightened security along the Lebanese-Israeli border,
despite the declared ceasefire and international efforts to stabilize the situation.
Observers believe that continued tensions on the ground and mutual violations
could pose a challenge to the long-term prospects for a lasting truce.
Stay tuned for upcoming developments
Political and security circles in the region are closely watching developments in the coming days.
This is especially true given the ongoing international efforts aimed at preventing escalation and maintaining stability in southern Lebanon.
Observers emphasize that the success of the ceasefire will depend largely on all parties exercising restraint.
It also requires avoiding any actions that could lead to renewed military confrontations along the border.
