After Hezbollah's response to Israel's violations, Netanyahu vows a "strong" response
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Monday evening to respond forcefully to Hezbollah's firing of missiles at a military site in the occupied Lebanese hills of Kfar Shuba, considering it a "serious violation of the ceasefire."
Netanyahu said in a post on the "X" platform: "Hezbollah's firing of rockets at Har Dov (occupied Kfar Shuba) constitutes a serious violation of the ceasefire, and Israel will respond forcefully to it."
"We are determined to respond to any violation by Hezbollah, whether small or serious," he added.
In the context, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed a "harsh response" to Hezbollah.
"We promised to act against any violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, and that is exactly what we will do," Katz said in a post on the X platform.
He vowed that "Hezbollah's firing on an Israeli army position in Har Dov will be met with a harsh response."
Since dawn on November 27, a fragile ceasefire has prevailed, ending the mutual shelling between Israel and Hezbollah that began on October 8, 2023, and then turned into a full-scale war in the last two months.
However, Israel violated the agreement dozens of times and launched attacks on Lebanese territory that resulted in deaths and injuries, which prompted Hezbollah on Monday evening to target the Israeli Ruwaysat al-Alam site in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba hills, as an "initial warning response" to Tel Aviv's repeated violations of the agreement.
