Netanyahu Redefines Ceasefire: Israel Claims Ongoing Strikes Are Enforcement, Not Violations

Prime Minister Netanyahu has tied the November 2024 Lebanon ceasefire to Israel's unilateral interpretation of enforcement. He states Israel will respond forcefully to any violation and has been conducting "daily fire and strikes" against perceived breaches. This approach grants Israel considerable operational latitude while maintaining the ceasefire's political framework—a doctrine that differs sharply from traditional mutual military restrictions and raises questions about the agreement's durability.
