The Israeli occupation continues to violate the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, with artillery shelling hitting the al-Mari Plain in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon early on Saturday morning.

According to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA), the Israeli occupation persists in its policy of demolishing homes and buildings in the town of Khiam, where massive explosions were heard in the morning and columns of smoke rose near the mosque in the town center.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in South Lebanon reported on injuries following an Israeli drone strike targeting a motorcycle in the town of Deir Seryan.

After midnight, three explosions were heard as the Israeli occupation forces also destroyed homes and buildings in Khiam.

On Friday, the Israeli occupation carried out a new demolition operation in the town of Odaisseh, the sound of which was heard across southern Lebanon.

Additionally, Israeli warplanes carried out Friday evening an airstrike on the riverbed between the towns of Zawtar al-Sharqiyah and Yohmor al-Shaqif in the Nabatieh district.

This coincided with the flight of hostile drone aircraft in the skies of the capital, Beirut, at low altitude.

Drones also flew over Beirut's Southern Suburb, according to NNA's correspondent.

This comes as the Israeli occupation military continues to violate the ceasefire agreement reached with Lebanon on November 27, advancing troops and vehicles in Lebanese towns and villages and carrying out several airstrikes, killing and injuring several people.

In response to the violations, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah carried out a warning operation on December 2 targeting an Israeli position in the occupied Kfar Chouba Hills and warned the Israeli occupation against further transgressions.

We remain patient, 'Israel' must end aggression: Qomati to Al Mayadeen

Mahmoud Qomati, Deputy head of Hezbollah's Political Council, confirmed on Wednesday that "the Resistance's response to Israeli occupation violations prompted widespread action to implement the ceasefire mechanism," adding that it "dealt a severe blow to the occupation." 

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Qomati stated that "the mechanism for implementing the ceasefire remains unclear" and criticized the US for being "lenient and allowing Israel to violate Lebanese territory without facing any repercussions."

In this context, Qomati emphasized that "the laxity of the committee overseeing the ceasefire is intentional," as "the enemy was allowed to accomplish what it failed to achieve during the aggression."

He added, "We are monitoring the actions of the committee. We are not satisfied with its performance, but we will respond if necessary to halt the aggression."

Qomati continued, "We have left matters over the past few days to the defense institutions, including the army, as well as other institutions, and the United Nations. So where are they?" 

He added that "a genuine ceasefire must be established," emphasizing that "it is the enemy that needs this ceasefire."

'We are patient... the enemy must stop its aggression'

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Qomati added, "We will remain patient as long as possible. We have agreed to a ceasefire, and it is the enemy's responsibility to halt its aggression."

However, he cautioned, "If the enemy persists in its violations, issuing statements No. 2 or 3 remains an option. For now, we are giving the committee the chance to take action."

Qomati explained that "the enemy is on Lebanese territory and is launching attacks," while "there are those who are only focusing on calling for the Resistance's disarmament, yet have not condemned the occupation with even a single word."

In this context, he stressed that "the Resistance is fully capable of returning to the battle, with both long-range and short-range missiles."
