According to Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib, if there is a ceasefire in Gaza, the Lebanese resistance Hezbollah, will halt fire against the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in occupied Palestine. 

Bou Habib remarked that the "minor fighting" on the Lebanese-Palestinian border would "stop immediately and automatically" if such an agreement is reached.

Bou Habib explained that the intention in Lebanon is not "to have a big war. It has to do with what's going on in Gaza, which is not acceptable."

In an attempt to increase the pressure on Lebanon by fearmongering, the Israeli occupation claimed it is considering launching an attack on Lebanon in the following two weeks in case a political agreement is not reached regarding Hezbollah's presence near the Lebanon-Palestine border, The Washington Post reported on Saturday citing sources.

Since the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon launched its operations last October in support of Gaza after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, almost a quarter-million Israeli settlers evacuated northern occupied Palestine fearing Hezbollah's attacks, and a repeat of a scenario similar to that in the Gaza envelope on October 7.

Citing Western and Lebanese officials, the newspaper reported that Israelis informed Washington last December that it would have "no other option" but to carry out a military aggression against Lebanon if a diplomatic agreement is not reached that would allow the entity's settlers to return to the North.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Security Minister Yoav Gallant, and Army Chief Herzi Halevi had all similar announcements in the past month.

In addition, the Lebanese Agriculture minister revealed Sunday that nearly 800 hectares of agricultural land have been destroyed by the Israeli occupation. 

Israeli strikes have damaged over 50,000 olive trees, some of which are 300 years old, according to the minister, who also stated that thousands of livestock, including sheep, goats, and cows, had been killed as well.

Islamic Resistance in Lebanon celebrates martyr, attacks Israeli sites

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon on Sunday celebrated young martyr Fadel Ali "Issa" Salman Shaar from Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon, a martyr on the path to al-Quds who ascended while performing his duty in the face of the Israeli occupation.

The Islamic Resistance also announced that it carried out several operations against the Israeli occupation in response to its hostilities on Lebanon and in support of the people and Resistance of Gaza in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression.

The operations entailed missile strikes on several Israeli military sites, including army barracks, Israeli settlements, and reconnaissance sites.

Hezbollah has launched hundreds of operations in support of Gaza since October 8, marking the faction's steadfast support to the Palestinian people and their cause. The Resistance's rockets, missiles, and drones plummeted Israeli occupation forces' military sites across the border, forcing the Israeli military to set up temporary positions in woodlands and the vicinities of the sites.
