Earlier, commenting on Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem's statement, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz remarked, “Their threats are becoming intolerable ... My patience is wearing thin.”
Despite the announcement of a ceasefire agreement on November 26, tensions remain elevated along the Lebanese-Israeli frontier, with Lebanese authorities reporting that Israel has carried out nearly 3,000 violations of the ceasefire since it took effect.
At least 215 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded during this period, according to official figures.
