This footage, released by the Israeli military, shows a new wave of airstrikes across south
00:05
Lebanon in what's the heaviest eruption of violence since its ceasefire with Hezbollah
00:09
began nearly four months ago.
00:12
According to the Israeli army, it hit dozens of rocket launchers and a Hezbollah command
00:16
centre and that the strikes are retaliation for Hezbollah's rocket fire towards Israel
00:21
on Saturday, something the Iran-backed militant group denies, saying it was committed to the
00:27
truce that ended over a year of conflict.
00:30
The Lebanese government, though, already fears escalation.
00:34
This could lead the country into a new war with disastrous consequences for Lebanon.
00:39
The Lebanese military, which is investigating the incident, said it had dismantled three
00:43
primitive rocket launchers on its southern soil and that it's attempting to regain control
00:48
over Hezbollah on its border with Israel.
00:51
Despite tensions heightening, the Israeli prime minister's foreign policy adviser says
00:56
he expects Lebanon to uphold its end of the shaky truce.
01:00
We expect Lebanon to take care of its part of the agreement.
01:07
The idea for sure is we'll do whatever it takes to enforce the ceasefire and to make
01:12
sure that our civilians can get back home safely and securely.
01:16
The escalation has increased fears that the fragile ceasefire, broken by the US and France,
01:20
would not hold, particularly as Israel restarted military operations in Gaza.
01:26
UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, has stated it's alarmed by the new cross-border
01:31
violence, calling on all parties to uphold their commitments to avoid serious consequences
01:36
in the region.
