The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement on the 27th, saying that the Israeli military has begun striking Hezbollah infrastructure targets in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley and in southern Lebanon.
Earlier that day, Lebanese Hezbollah leader Qassem stated that he firmly opposes the Lebanese government engaging in direct negotiations with Israel.
On the 27th, Lebanese President Aoun stated that true betrayal is dragging the country into a war serving external interests.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu pointed out on the 26th that Hezbollah is undermining the ceasefire, and that the Israeli side is taking active measures in accordance with agreements reached with the United States and Lebanon. “This means we have the freedom to act, not only to respond to attacks… but also to thwart imminent threats and eliminate newly emerging threats.”
