Israel’s 180 Violations of Ceasefire Reported

Ceasefire Violations

The Lebanese Shia group Hizbulá accused Israel of breaching the ceasefire, in effect since Friday in Lebanon, on as many as 180 occasions throughout Saturday, resulting in approximately twenty deaths, including one Lebanese soldier, according to Agence EFE.

«The number of violations and attacks since this morning has reached at least 180,» stated the armed group’s press office on its official Telegram channel, labeling Israel’s claims regarding «Hizbulá’s supposed violations» as «lies» intended to justify its ongoing aggression against Lebanon and the massacres committed against civilians.

The organization emphasized that «this deceitful and treacherous enemy has never respected the terms of ceasefire agreements, whether from November 27, 2024, April 8, 2026, or those following the announcement of the memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States on June 14, and even those from yesterday, Friday, June 19.»

The Public Health Ministry reported that the death toll has now reached 4,057 with 12,121 injured since March 2.

Amnesty International Report: «War Crime»

In a report published this week, Amnesty International condemned Israel for radically expanding the use of illegal orders for mass «evacuations» and «no returns,» displacing hundreds of thousands across Lebanon, which constitutes the «war crime of forced transfer.»

The Regional Deputy Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty, Kristine Beckerle, stated: «In large parts of southern Lebanon, the Israeli orders for ‘total evacuation’ were followed by ‘no return’ mandates. The forced displacement and prohibition on return imposed by Israel, affecting tens of thousands of civilians in southern Lebanon, constitutes forced transfer, a serious violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and therefore, a war crime.»

The organization found that between September 2024 and May 2026, the Israeli Army issued 171 mass «evacuation» orders, of which 135 were issued in 2026, with three-quarters targeted at southern Lebanon. Additionally, the area unilaterally declared by Israel as a no-return zone now covers 6% of Lebanese territory.

Amnesty documented that «in 2026, Sentinel 2 satellite imagery showed nearly in real-time the erasure of almost all municipalities located along the border,» and that «Israel’s indiscriminate orders were given without measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the evacuated individuals.» The organization called for the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon and the safe return of displaced persons.
