Naim Qassem, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, has indicated that the militant group will continue to adhere to the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire agreement, despite accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire "more than 60 times."

  • Qassem said, per Roi Kais at Kan: "We agreed to the cease-aggression agreement. Hezbollah men with their heads held high. We agreed to the cessation of aggression agreement and an implementation mechanism for resolution 1701... This agreement calls for Israel's withdrawal from all Lebanese land and an end to its aggression, and at the same time it prevents the presence of armed men and the resistance's weapons south of Litani and talks about the fact that the Lebanese army is the only party that will be armed south of Litani."
  • Qassem continued: "Israel has violated the agreement more than 60 times. The Lebanese government is the one responsible for the implementation of the agreement and Hezbollah is giving the opportunity for the success of the agreement, we hope that the monitoring committee for the agreement will meet in order to ensure its success."
  • The comments come amid a significant escalation of the civil war in Syria, with rebel forces appearing close to taking control of the strategically important city of Hama, and fortifying control and administration of the city of Aleppo. Territorial losses for the government of Bashir al-Assad could disrupt flows of weapons and financing from Iran in Lebanon, further degrading Hezbollah's capabilities.
