Alarm sirens sounded in central Israel as rockets were launched from Lebanon
Alarm sirens sounded in northern and central Israel due to the launching of rockets from Lebanon following Israel 's approval of a ceasefire. This was reported by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on November 26.
"Sirens are sounding simultaneously in several areas of Israel," the IDF press service informed on the X network (former Twitter).
Shortly before that, US President Joe Biden announced that the indefinite ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel will begin to operate on November 27 local time. At the same time, the American leader noted that if the Shiite movement Hezbollah violates the terms of the truce, Israel reserves the right to self-defense.
Earlier, on November 25, it was reported that the Israeli Prime Minister tentatively approved a possible agreement that seeks a ceasefire between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah.
Prior to that, on November 24, it was reported that IDF strikes killed 84 people and injured more than 200 in Lebanon.
In early November, Lebanon's acting Prime Minister Najib Mikati called the resumption of attacks a rejection of Israel's peace initiative. He emphasized that Israel's repeated threats "confirm the disregard for all efforts made to secure a ceasefire."
The escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah came after the events of September 17 and 18, when thousands of people, including employees of the movement, were injured when pagers and other communication devices exploded in Lebanon. The country blamed Tel Aviv for what happened. Since then, Israel has continued to eliminate the leadership of the Shiite movement and strike Lebanese territory.
The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian radical movement Hamas subjected the territory of Israel to a massive rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. On the same day, Israel began retaliatory strikes.
