The United Nations' peacekeeping force in Lebanon expressed concern on Thursday at the "continuing" damage done by Israeli forces in the country's south despite a ceasefire in the war with Hezbollah.

Lebanon's leader on Monday toured parts of his country amid large Israeli gains of Hezbollah weapons. Prime Minister Najib Mikati called for Israel's military to exit the region after a recent cease-fire agreement.

Israel's wars in the Middle East are unlikely to end in 2025 or for that matter any time in the foreseeable future. The immediate reason for that is that Benjamin Netanyahu needs to prolong the ghastly war in Gaza to avoid standing trial at home on corruption charges which carry a prison sentence.

The United Nations observer mission in Lebanon urged both Israel and Hezbollah to comply with the ceasefire agreement, warning on its Telegram channel on Thursday against actions that could jeopardize the fragile cessation of hostilities.

‘Israel’ continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in southern Lebanon, with incursions into the areas of Qantara, Adshit al-Qusayr and Wadi al-Hujayr, according to reports from the region.

Each of these operations was highly significant, but the fact they all occurred within a mere three months is without precedent in a region that endured decades of war.

Israel won’t permit Hezbollah operatives to return to villages in southern Lebanon and reestablish infrastructure that would pose a threat to Israeli communities, Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday.

Najib Mikati’s visit was part of his tour of Lebanese military positions alongside army chief Joseph Aoun in frontline areas of southern Lebanon.

The world’s first Holocaust museum, the Ghetto Fighters’ House in Kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta’ot, reopened its doors to visitors this month following the war with Hezbollah in nearby Lebanon, highlighting its role as a beacon of resilience in northern Israel.
