Israeli army defends 50 attacks on Lebanon in past month despite ceasefire

The Israeli military has said it carried out 50 attacks in Lebanon over the past month despite the fact that those attacks violated the current ceasefire, killed people and destroyed people's homes, Al Jazeera reported on Monday. 

The Israeli military justified its attacks by saying they were carried out in response to threats against the country.

Rights groups have denounced Israeli attacks on Lebanon, saying they are a violation of a ceasefire with Lebanese group Hezbollah which came into effect in November 2024.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Israel of destabilising Lebanon following the latest Israeli attack on Beirut on Sunday. He accused Israel of posing “real dangers to the security” of the region.
