News - Middle East: Hezbollah has denied firing rockets from southern Lebanon and into the occupied Palestinian territories and reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement with the Israeli regime. 

In a statement on Saturday, Hezbollah declined any involvement in the rocket strikes against the occupied Palestinian territories.

“Hezbollah reiterates its commitment to the ceasefire agreement and stands behind the Lebanese state in addressing this dangerous zionist escalation against Lebanon,” Hezbollah said in a statement on Saturday.

The regime’s newest rounds of attacks against Lebanon began Saturday morning when allegedly three rockets were launched from Southern Lebanon into the occupied territories.

The regime said it intercepted the rockets but it cannot allow Hezbollah to carry attacks against the regime.

In addition to denying responsibility for the attacks, Hezbollah called on the ceasefire agreement monitor and the Lebanese military to conduct their investigations and discover the source of the attacks.

Meanwhile, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun denounced the Israeli regime for “the attempts to drag Lebanon anew into the cycle of violence.”

“What happened today in the South and what has been continuing there since February 18 represent a blow to the project of rescuing Lebanon on which the Lebanese have unanimously agreed,” he warned.

Following significant losses over nearly 14 months of conflict against Lebanon, and failing to achieve any of its military and political objectives including the elimination of “Hezbollah,” the regime agreed to a ceasefire with Hezbollah on November 27.

In addition to breaking the terms of the ceasefire agreement and keeping parts of its forces in Lebanon, since the commencement of the agreement, the regime has been carrying out near-daily assaults on Lebanon.

On January 27, Lebanon declared its decision to prolong the ceasefire with Israel until February 18.
