IDF chief says there’s ‘no ceasefire’ in south Lebanon amid continued fighting with Hezbollah
[IsraelTimes] Trump reportedly pushing back on Israeli efforts to limit talks with Beirut, return to large-scale war; 1 million Lebanese will face food insecurity in coming months, monitor warns
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said during a visit to troops posted in southern Leb
...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects....on Wednesday that there "is no ceasefire," as Israel and Hezbollah continued to exchange fire despite a truce that’s been in place for almost two weeks.
Zamir’s comments came amid a reported push from Jerusalem to get the US to limit its historic direct talks with the Lebanese government to a two-week timeframe, and to sign off on a large-scale IDF campaign against Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group, if the talks fail.
The US-mediated ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which started on April 17, was extended on April 24 for an additional three weeks, US President Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
announced at the time. His announcement came as Israeli and Lebanese diplomats met for US-brokered talks.
But cross-border fighting has continued. Speaking in the southern Lebanese town of Taybeh, one of the border villages where Israeli troops are deployed, Zamir said that the IDF "will not tolerate" Hezbollah’s attacks, while adding that Israel will not leave the security buffer zone it holds in south Lebanon until the threat to Israel’s northern communities is removed.
"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.
"We will not tolerate attacks and fire on our communities, and we will not leave until long-term security for the northern communities is ensured," he said, according to remarks published by the IDF.
The IDF is continuing to fight, the chief of staff added, saying that the military is "working to deepen the operational achievements and to protect our forces."
"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 continued.
"Any threat, anywhere, to our communities or our forces, including beyond the Yellow Line and north of the Litani [River], will be removed. Your mission and duty are to act with freedom of action and remove any threat," Zamir said.
"At this stage we are not advancing beyond the line, but we will continue to act and remove threats freely," he added, saying there "is no restriction on [destroying] infrastructure and killing terrorists."
During Zamir’s visit, the IDF continued its operations in southern Lebanon, saying that it struck some 20 Hezbollah sites with

KABOOM!...
s and artillery shelling in the southern Lebanon towns of Baraashit and Shaqra on Wednesday morning.
The sites hit by the Israeli Air Force and the artillery regiment of the 91st "Galilee" Regional Division included weapon depots and other buildings used by Hezbollah for "military purposes," the IDF said.
"The Hezbollah terror organization used these infrastructures to advance and carry out terror attack plans against IDF troops and Israeli civilians," the military added.
The IDF said it also struck and destroyed a Hezbollah rocket launcher, and shot down two explosive drones that the terror group launched at Israel.
Hezbollah launched several more explosive-laden first-person view (FPV) drones at Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, in two separate incidents Wednesday, the army said. The drones went
