He issued the warning in a statement Thursday after Israeli media reported that the regime had lobbied the regime to keep its troops in Lebanon for another 30 days, according to Press TV.
“Violation of the 60-day deadline would constitute a blatant violation of the agreement and a continuation of the attack on Lebanon’s sovereignty,” Hezbollah said.
“Such actions mark the beginning of a new occupational phase that requires states to respond using all means and methods provided by international charters… to take back their lands.”
Hezbollah opened a support front for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip after Israel unleashed a genocidal war in the besieged territory on October 7, 2023, launching numerous retaliatory attacks against targets in the occupied territories.
Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah on November 27, 2024, failing to achieve its goals despite suffering heavy battlefield losses and killing more than 4,000 people in Lebanon.
The deal gives Israel a 60-day period ending on January 26 to withdraw its forces from the occupied town and hand over control to the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeeping forces.
Also in its statement, Hezbollah urged the Lebanese government to press its side to oversee a cease-fire agreement to ensure that a 60-day deadline for the withdrawal of Israeli troops is met.
It also called for close monitoring of the final stages of the withdrawal, the full deployment of the Lebanese Army, and the prompt return of displaced populations.
“Breach of the contract…will not be accepted,” the resistance group added. “Attempts to evade these obligations under flimsy pretexts will not be tolerated. We demand strict adherence to the agreement without concessions of any kind.”
