Netanyahu: Lebanon ceasefire does not signal end of war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Tuesday that the ceasefire with Lebanon does not mean the war is over.

Speaking at a cabinet meeting in the northern border city of Nayariya, Netanyahu said that Israel had attacked over 20 targets across Lebanon in response to Hezbollah violations of the ceasefire.

"We are currently in a ceasefire, I note, a ceasefire, not the end of the war," he said.

"We have a clear goal to return the residents, to rehabilitate the north. We are enforcing this ceasefire with an iron fist, acting against any violation, minor or serious."

Despite the truce being signed with Hezbollah less than a week ago, Israeli attacks on Lebanon killed at least 12 people on Monday.

A Unifil source reported at least 100 Israeli ceasefire violations.
