Statement Issued by Hezbollah's Media Relations Office:
"In light of the allegations and falsehoods that the Israeli enemy continues to promote regarding claims that Hezbollah has violated the ceasefire agreement, in an attempt to justify its ongoing aggression against Lebanon and the massacres it is committing against civilians, Hezbollah's Media Relations Office affirms that these allegations are completely baseless and fall within the framework of the enemy’s continuous efforts to mislead public opinion, as well as its clear and exposed attempt to sabotage the agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America.
The number of documented Israeli violations and breaches since dawn on Friday has exceeded 300 incidents of aggression, including airstrikes by warplanes and drones, artillery shelling of various calibers, and the firing of phosphorus munitions against more than 25 towns and villages, including the city of Nabatieh. These attacks have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 111 people and the injury of 176 others. Preliminary information also indicates that the enemy has used cluster munitions prohibited under international law.
The number of violations and attacks since this morning alone has reached no fewer than 180 incidents, resulting in more than 28 martyrs, including three Lebanese Army martyrs, and 35 wounded.
It is firmly established that this deceitful and treacherous enemy has never adhered to the provisions of ceasefire agreements—not on 27 November, nor on 8 March, nor following the announcement of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States on 14 June, nor even yesterday, Friday 19 June. Rather, it has continued its violations and breaches of Lebanese sovereignty through air attacks, shelling, the destruction of homes, the intimidation of civilians, and the killing of innocent people.
These facts, evident to all observers, clearly demonstrate which party is violating the ceasefire agreement and undermining the existing understandings. Indeed, what the Israeli enemy is committing through these attacks and massacres is no longer merely a breach of the ceasefire agreement, but rather constitutes outright aggression and a continuation of the war in every sense of the term.
Accordingly, full responsibility rests upon the Israeli occupation, whose officials repeatedly and publicly declare their rejection of the existing agreements and their refusal to withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory. All countries and officials, foremost among them the United States of America, must exert pressure on the occupying entity to compel it to implement the agreements and cease its attacks, instead of directing accusations in every direction.
Hezbollah affirms that Lebanon, its people, and its Resistance have the right to defend their land and sovereignty in the face of ongoing Israeli attacks and violations. No one has the right to strip them of this right, which is guaranteed by all divine laws and international legal principles. Furthermore, the freedom of action that the enemy seeks to establish in order to continue its aggression is unacceptable and will not pass without a response, and the expulsion of the occupation from our land is only a matter of time."
