Hezbollah on Sunday rejected any ceasefire that would allow Israel "free rein" to conduct attacks in Lebanon, as the group’s Secretary-General Naim Qassem insisted that a complete halt to hostilities and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied southern territory were non-negotiable conditions for any agreement. Speaking in Beirut, Qassem said the group remained committed to a truce but would not accept terms that left Lebanon vulnerable to further Israeli strikes, .

Israel, however, accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire within hours of a US-Iran agreement taking effect. The Israeli army claimed its two-day air and artillery campaign in Lebanon had killed dozens in response to rocket fire from the group, which it described as a breach of the truce. Hezbollah countered that Israeli strikes had begun immediately after the agreement, undermining any prospect of stability, .

The escalation has deepened a humanitarian crisis in southern Lebanon, where Amnesty International documented Israel’s repeated use of mass evacuation orders since 2024, barring residents from returning to their homes in clear violation of international humanitarian law. The organisation interviewed 19 displaced individuals and reviewed 447 open-source items to substantiate its findings, .

Meanwhile, Israeli settlers in the West Bank escalated attacks on Palestinian communities over the weekend, with armed groups targeting homes in Turmus Ayya, Sinjil and other villages under the protection of the Israeli army. Palestinian witnesses reported that ten demolition notices were issued for homes and agricultural structures near Bethlehem, while settlers blocked the Muarrajat road linking Jericho and Ramallah, .

In a rare diplomatic intervention, Colombian President Gustavo Petro urged Israeli citizens to pressure their government to end the strikes on Lebanon, citing the US-Iran accord as a framework for de-escalation. Petro’s call came as Greece joined a growing chorus of international actors expressing concern over Israel’s deportation of a Greek trade union delegation en route to Ramallah, despite the group’s compliance with entry procedures, .

Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa acknowledged lingering tensions over Hezbollah’s past role in the Syrian conflict but signalled openness to engagement if it served both countries’ interests. He warned that renewed fighting in Lebanon would have regional repercussions, .

As the death toll mounts and diplomatic efforts falter, the IDF is reportedly considering transferring control of a Hezbollah underground compound to the Lebanese army, a move that could signal a tentative step toward stabilisation—or further entrenchment of a fragile status quo.
