Hezbollah vows to defend Lebanon’s territory and people against Israeli attacks, accusing its foe of violating a ceasefire as fighting flares, AFP reports.

“The Islamic Resistance will remain vigilant against any aggression. Its fighters will defend their land and people,” the group says in a statement, refuting Israeli accusations that it had violated the truce, and instead insisting “the enemy has never complied with any ceasefire agreement”.
