Over 2,700: Lebanon reports on Israeli ceasefire breaches

Shafaq News/ Lebanon has recorded 2,740 Israeli violations since a ceasefire took effect in November, resulting in the deaths of at least 180 people, Information Minister Paul Morcos revealed on Thursday.

Speaking after a cabinet meeting chaired by President Joseph Aoun, Morcos noted that Israeli attacks south of the Litani River were impeding the Lebanese army’s ability to operate in the area.

Morcos affirmed the government’s commitment to asserting sovereignty "exclusively through its own armed forces" and announced cabinet approval to renew UNIFIL’s mandate in southern Lebanon.
