Israel has killed at least 15 people in Lebanon since the ceasefire was supposed to go into effect last Wednesday
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday claimed the Lebanon ceasefire was “holding” despite repeated Israeli attacks on south Lebanon.
At a press conference in Brussels , Blinken was asked if Israel had violated the ceasefire by bombing southern Lebanon but didn’t give a direct answer and pointed to a mechanism established by the US and France meant to uphold the truce.
“The ceasefire is holding, and we’re using the mechanism that was established when any concerns have arisen about any alleged or purported violations,” Blinken said.
As of Tuesday, Israeli strikes on south Lebanon have killed at least 15 people since the ceasefire was supposed to go into effect last Wednesday. Hezbollah has only fired two rockets , which it did on Monday as a “warning shot” in response to the Israeli violations. At that point, Israel had violated the ceasefire around 100 times, according to the UN’s peacekeeping force in Lebanon.
The reporter questioning Blinken noted media reports that the US has told Israel it believes the Israeli military is violating the ceasefire, but Blinken refused to say so publicly.
