Since the ceasefire came into effect at midnight on 16 April until midday on 19 April, Israel performed 50 illegal mining and bombing operations, 52 artillery shelling operations, seven raids and airstrikes, 30 aerial violations, and four phosphorus or sonic flares. All of these were in direct contravention of the ceasefire.

Just two hours after the ceasefire came into effect, Israel bombed Nabatieh, the al-Abbassiya intersection north of Tyre, Haris, and the city of Tyre itself several times.

What happened to international law?

Even without the ceasefire, all of these attacks are direct contraventions of international humanitarian law. Lebanon is a sovereign nation and Israel’s illegal attacks are nothing short of ethnic cleansing.

Israel may claim to be ‘defeating terrorists’ and ‘disarming Hezbollah’, but as the Canary has reported multiple times, Hezbollah would not actually exist if Israel had not invaded Lebanon in 1982.

Additionally, armed resistance is not illegal under international law. A United Nations General Assembly resolution states:

The General Assembly,

Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle;

In December last year, the Canary’s Mohamad Kleit wrote:

I saw nothing but rubble. Destroyed houses, lost dreams, and graffiti in Hebrew promising an Israeli return to take over the border towns. This statement on the wall was accompanied by other racist, colonial slurs against Lebanon, drawn on what remained of houses and shops, by the Israeli occupation forces during the 2024 war.

What this makes abundantly clear is that the attacks on Lebanon are not some new attempt to disarm Hezbollah. They are part of a prolonged and systematic colonial attempt to invade the land.

Israel has a track record of ignoring ceasefires

Since October 2025 alone, Israel has committed 2,492 violations of the Gaza ceasefire, which equates to an average of 13 violations per day.

Israel has murdered 775 Palestinians, including 207 children, 86 women, and 21 elderly people. It has also wounded 2,171 people, more than half of whom were children, women or elderly.

Additionally, Israel is still holding about 34 square-kilometres beyond the agreed withdrawal lines. It has also blocked repairs to electricity, water and sewage infrastructure.

According to Drop Site News, only 228 aid trucks per day are entering Gaza, compared to the 600 that were agreed. Gaza is then receiving only 38% of the agreed humanitarian aid. Similarly, it is receiving only 14.8% of the required fuel deliveries.

Where’s the media coverage?

Of course, the majority of the Western media are ignoring Israel’s ceasefire violations in both Gaza and Lebanon.

Under the cover of a “ceasefire,” Israel continues daily attacks on Lebanese towns and cities with deadly consequences for civilians. https://t.co/afw9CTqnLW

Similarly, and unsurprisingly, the US is also ignoring Israel’s violations.

Israel, like it’s sugar daddy, the United States, basically just ignores the international rule of law. They make a million promises and they break a million promises. They are a criminal rogue state. https://t.co/HwjTa9miSj

Therefore, Israel will continue to get away with murdering innocent people and destroying civilian infrastructure.

A ceasefire by Israel is not a real ceasefire. Israel still keeps bombing and killing innocents.

The world needs to take actions to demand that Israel stop. This is a violation. This are war crimes. https://t.co/fpbvIs7m7s

When Hezbollah launches rockets towards Israel, Western media parrot IOF lines, calling it a “blatant violation of the ceasefire”. Of course, Hezbollah was aiming at Israeli soldiers while the IOF blows up homes, schools, and hospitals.

Meanwhile, the whole world turns the other way while Israel — a rogue terrorist state — repeatedly violates every ceasefire it has ever signed, murdering innocent innocent people in the process.
