Hezbollah, Amal Movement reject continuation of Israeli occupation in any part of Lebanon

BEIRUT, Feb. 20 (YPA) – Hezbollah and Amal Movement announced on Thursday their absolute rejection of the continued Israeli occupation of any part of Lebanese territory and condemned the repeated violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty by land, sea, and air.

The Hezbollah and Amal Movement leaderships stressed in a joint statement that these violations represent a clear breach of international legitimacy, especially Resolution 1701 and the ceasefire agreement.

The statement referred to the continued Israeli occupation aggression and its destruction of homes, villages, and agricultural lands as part of an aggressive approach that reflects Israel’s intentions towards Lebanon’s sovereignty and stability.

The two leaderships called on the international community to take action to compel Israeli occupation to implement Resolution 1701, withdraw completely from Lebanese territory, and stop its attacks. They also stressed the need to prioritize reconstruction within the tasks of the new government.

The statement concluded with a salute to the martyrs, the residents of the border areas, and all those who sacrificed to liberate Lebanese territory.
