IDF Strikes Hezbollah Amid Truce Violations

The IDF said on Sunday, December 1, that it was continuing to enforce the ceasefire in Lebanon by striking Hezbollah forces violating its terms, as France was said to charge that Jerusalem, too was repeatedly violating the days-old truce.  

The IDF is still deployed in much of southern Lebanon, and it has until late January to withdraw under the 60-day ceasefire deal clinched last week that sought to end more than a year of fighting.  

Early on Sunday, Israeli jets launched an airstrike over a southern Lebanese border village of Yaroun, while troops shelled other border towns and villages still under Israeli control, Lebanon’s state-run news agency reported. Neither the military nor Hezbollah commented on the incidents.  

In another incident that the IDF said Sunday took place the previous night, soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade spotted a group of armed Hezbollah operatives close to a church in southern Lebanon, a site previously known to have been used by the terror group. 

The paratroopers opened fire at the gunmen, killing them, the IDF said. (TOI /VFI News) 

“But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Yeshua Hamashiach, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:8-10
