The resistance leadership has always affirmed that the continuation of Israeli aggression and the assassination of our leaders, youth and people gives us the right to defend ourselves and respond at the appropriate time and place. The Israeli enemy cannot continue its fifteen-month-long aggression without a warning response to halt this aggression and withdraw from the occupied Lebanese territories.

Israeli strikes on Lebanon's Bekaa Valley have killed one person and wounded 29 others, the latest in a series of ceasefire violations. Lebanon's Ministry of Health announced that a 16-year-old Syrian boy was killed, the National News Agency (NNA) reported on Thursday. He was named as Hussein Mohsen al-Khalaf and was killed in a strike on Kfar Dan near Baalbek.

Hamas's Gaza chief, Khalil al-Hayya, confirmed the killing of senior commander Raed Saad in an Israeli attack in Gaza the previous day. He accused Israel of violating the ceasefire and jeopardising the United States-brokered peace plan. The continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement and latest assassinations that targeted Saad and others threaten the viability of the agreement, al-Hayya said. He called on mediators US President Donald Trump in particular to work on obliging Israel to respect the ceasefire and commit to it.

A senior delegation from Hamas has met Egypt's intelligence chief in Cairo to discuss Israel's breaches of the ceasefire agreement, the group said, as Palestinians in Gaza held funerals for dozens of people killed in recent Israeli attacks. In a statement on Sunday, the group said it reaffirmed its commitment to implementing the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in its meeting with Hassan Rashad, but accused Israel of continued violations that it said threatened to undermine the deal.

On Tuesday, Hamas militants emerged from a tunnel and fired at Israeli troops, killing one, according to the IDF. The Israelis declared that a violation of the ceasefire and launched massive airstrikes that killed more than 100 Palestinians, among them women and children, before resuming the ceasefire. Hamas claimed it didn't order that attack and had lost contact with militants who were left behind in the IDF-controlled areas.
