Hezbollah Vows to Keep Its Weapons as Lebanon Says Israeli Strikes Killed 14
Despite a cease-fire, Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging attacks almost daily.
Lebanon reported that recent Israeli strikes killed 14 people.
The ongoing conflict follows a ceasefire brokered by the United States, initially set for 10 days from April 17 and extended by three weeks.
However, Israel has continued military operations targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon.
Israeli forces have focused strikes on locations in the eastern Bekaa region and southern Lebanon linked to Hezbollah.
The Israeli army maintains the right to respond to any planned or ongoing attacks under the ceasefire terms.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that Hezbollah's rockets and drones remain a significant threat, requiring combined operational and technological responses.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned that Hezbollah's refusal to negotiate could have severe consequences for Lebanon.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned those responsible for dragging Lebanon into the conflict, calling their actions "treason." He expressed a desire to end the state of war with Israel but rejected any humiliating terms.
