The Israeli army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said that "there is no ceasefire" with Lebanon, as the military continues to launch demolitions and attacks in the country.
"In Lebanon, the mission assigned to us by the political echelon is to position ourselves along the line to prevent direct fire on the communities. We have achieved this; this is the line we are on. We may be required to remain on it," Zamir said during a visit to troops stationed in southern Lebanon.
"On the combat front, there is no ceasefire; you continue to fight, to remove direct and indirect threats from the northern communities, to thwart terror infrastructure, to locate and kill terrorists," he added.
Since 2 March, Israeli forces have killed at least 2,290 people in Lebanon, and displaced around 1.2 million people nationwide.
