Hezbollah said Israeli attacks in the south justify a response despite a ceasefire extension that has reduced hostilities, officials said.
- On April 24, Hezbollah declared the US-mediated ceasefire "meaningless," one day after President Donald Trump announced a three-week extension following meetings with ambassadors at the White House.

- Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayyad stated, "Any Israeli aggression against any Lebanese target, regardless of its nature, gives the resistance the right to respond proportionately," citing persistent hostile acts.
- The ceasefire agreement between the governments of Lebanon and Israel had been due to expire on April 26, though the extension aims to sustain the reduction in hostilities.
- Hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel reignited on March 2 in support of Iran, yet the Lebanon ceasefire remains separate from Washington's ongoing efforts to resolve its conflict with Tehran.
