Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has urged the Lebanese government to take decisive action against Hezbollah, accusing the group of violating the ceasefire. During a meeting with UN Special Coordinator Janine Hennis in Jerusalem, Saar stated that Hezbollah has fired around 10,000 rockets, shells, and drones at Israel since March 2, many from near UNIFIL positions. He described an "alarming pattern" of Hezbollah deploying personnel and equipment near UNIFIL sites, using them to monitor Israeli forces and moving in vehicles resembling UNIFIL's. Saar called for financial measures to cut Hezbollah's funding, warning that the group's actions undermine Lebanon's interests and the ceasefire.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar met with the UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Janine Hennis, in Jerusalem.
He told her that "Hezbollah continues to violate the ceasefire, in contradiction with Lebanon's interests, thus undermining the ceasefire."
He added: "Under pressure from the Iranian regime, Hezbollah has fired approximately 10,000 rockets, shells and drones at Israel since March 2, and many of these attacks were launched from near UNIFIL positions."
Saar declared that Israel is witnessing what he described as an alarming and increasing pattern, asserting that Hezbollah is systematically deploying its personnel and equipment near UNIFIL positions, exploiting their presence in its hostile operations.
He stated that Hezbollah is using these positions to monitor Israeli army forces and is moving its personnel in vehicles similar to UNIFIL vehicles.
Saar called on the Lebanese government to take decisive action against Hezbollah and its elements, including financial measures targeting its sources of funding.
