Netanyahu: Even if a ceasefire is achieved, our operations against Hezbollah will continue.

It has been claimed that a ceasefire has been established between Israel and Hezbollah, and it was stated that the ceasefire would last until January 20, 2025, when Donald Trump, who was elected president in the United States, will take office.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made statements regarding his country's attacks on Lebanon during a speech in the Israeli parliament. According to reports in the Israeli press, Netanyahu stated that a possible ceasefire in Lebanon would not mean the end of Israeli attacks, saying, "The important thing is not for the agreement to remain on paper. Even after the ceasefire, we will have to ensure our security in the north and conduct systematic operations against Hezbollah's attacks."

"WE WILL NOT ALLOW HEZBOLLAH TO RETURN"

Netanyahu argued that there is no evidence that Hezbollah would comply with any ceasefire agreement, stating, "We will not allow Hezbollah to return to the situation it was in on October 6, 2023, when its Palestinian ally Hamas attacked southern Israel."

ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON LEBANON

The Israeli army, which has been engaged in controlled clashes with Hezbollah since October 8, 2023, carried out hundreds of airstrikes on southern Lebanese cities, as well as the Bekaa and Baalbek regions, on September 23. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, since October 8, 2023, 3,516 people have died, including 902 women and children, and 212 health workers, while 14,929 people have been injured.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in airstrikes carried out by the Israeli army on Beirut on September 27. Hezbollah is responding to Israel with rockets and missiles. There have been no significant damages reported from these attacks, which mostly targeted military bases on the Israeli side.

A wave of migration from the southern parts of the country to the capital Beirut and the north continues. According to United Nations data, more than 1.4 million people have been displaced in Lebanon due to Israeli attacks. The Lebanese government announced that more than 600,000 of the displaced people have migrated to Syria.
