Israel continues to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon, with air and artillery bombardment of various areas in southern Lebanon, and the Israeli army continues to prevent residents of more than 60 villages from returning to southern Lebanon.

Eleven people were killed in Israeli strikes on Lebanon over the past 24 hours, with Hezbollah accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement and, in response, firing rockets at an Israeli military site in the Shebaa Farms area, which the party considered a "preliminary defensive warning response."

The United States expressed its belief that the ceasefire is still holding in Lebanon, and that it is looking into possible violations of it, as US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met in Washington on Monday with Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer.

Blinken stressed to the Israeli minister the importance of implementing a ceasefire in Lebanon, to allow Israeli and Lebanese citizens to safely return to their homes and remain there for a long time, according to a statement by the US State Department.
