Israel strikes Lebanon despite ceasefire
Israeli strikes on Lebanon have triggered disputes and violations of the ceasefire. Regarding these violations, Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that the US-Iran ceasefire “will not include Hezbollah.”
These violations have been criticised by the Prime Minister (PM) of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif.
The PM took to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to urge restraint, saying that the violations undermine the spirit of the peace process.
The PM added, “I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards the peaceful settlement of the conflict.”
The war began on February 28 when the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran. These strikes killed Iran’s then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
According to the reports, these strikes also hit Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure.
