Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Hezbollah firing on a military site around the contested border was a "serious violation" of the ceasefire, and said Israel would "respond strongly."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday he was recommending that his Cabinet approve a ceasefire with Hezbollah to end hostilities in Lebanon.

Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for a mortar attack on an Israeli military position near Mount Dov, marking the first breach of the ceasefire that had taken effect just days earlier in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group.
