BEIRUT, December 2. /TASS/. Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri demands that Israel stop violating the terms of the ceasefire and withdraw its troops from the Lebanese territory.

"The Israeli occupational forces continue their aggressive actions. They have violated the ceasefire that was declared last week 54 times," he said in a statement posted on the X social network.

"Israeli bulldozers continue tearing down houses in border villages, artillery is shelling the area and aircraft are making flights inside Lebanon’s territory," he noted.

"We draw the attention of the technical committee for monitoring the implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1701 to these numerous violations and call on it to put an end to them by forcing the invaders to leave the Lebanese soil," Berri stressed.

The agreement on the first ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon since hostilities flared up in October 2023 took effect on the morning of November 27. US President Joe Biden announced that the agreements between the Jewish state and Hezbollah provided for the re-establishment of the Lebanese army and state security forces’ control of the country’s territory within 60 days. After that, the Israeli army will be gradually pulled out of Lebanon.
