The Lebanese army said Thursday that Israeli strikes on the country’s south aimed to prevent the completion of its deployment there in line with last year’s ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
“The Israeli enemy launched a wide-scale attack in the south, targeting several areas and towns. These condemned attacks are a continuation of the enemy’s destructive approach, which aims to undermine Lebanon’s stability… and prevent the completion of the army’s deployment in accordance with the cessation of hostilities agreement,” the army said in a statement.
