The committee tasked to monitor the ceasefire in South Lebanon held on Wednesday, December 18, its second meeting at the UNIFIL headquarters in Naqoura town.

Representatives of the Lebanese Army, US, France, UNIFIL and the Zionist enemy convened to discuss the blatant Israeli violations of the truce which took into effect on November 27.

“UNIFIL hosted the meeting, with the United States serving as chair, assisted by France, and joined by the LAF and IOF,” the U.S. and French embassies and UNIFIL said in a joint statement after the meeting, adding that “the committee will continue to meet in this format regularly and coordinate closely to support implementation of the ceasefire agreement and UNSCR 1701.”

The statement failed to highlight the ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire, disregarding any practical steps to stop them.

In this context, the Israeli occupation forces continued wiping out houses in Naqoura town hosting the meeting of the committee, which underlines the enemy’s insistence on the violations.

For the third consecutive day, Israeli bulldozers continued the operations of demolishing houses and scraping houses in the town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon, where they have deliberately damaged the infrastructure in the southern village on the border with occupied Palestine.

The Israeli enemy also detonated several houses and destroyed forests in Kfarkila border town, demolishing a house and a Mosque in Bani Hayyan town.

Al-Manar reporter indicated that the Zionist enemy reconstructed cement fence on the border off Hadab Yarin site towards Dhahira border town.

Meanwhile, Lebanese media outlets mentioned that House Speaker Nabih Berri contacted the US mediator Amos Hochstein, discussing with him the Zionist ceasefire violations.
