# The Lebanese army claims that Israel has already committed violations of the ten-day ceasefire that took effect at midnight. Israel has been fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon since the early days of the Iran conflict, claiming the lives of over two-thousand people. The Lebanese army says it has recorded several Israeli attacks, including intermittent shelling, on Lebanese villages. Meanwhile, the US State Department says Israel reserves the right to defend itself at any time, against planned, imminent or ongoing attacks.
