Hezbollah says ‘finger on the trigger’ in case Israel violates truce

Hezbollah says it is keeping its “finger on the trigger” in the event of Israeli violations of a ceasefire that went into effect overnight.

In a statement, the Iran-backed terror group said, “The fighters will keep their finger on the trigger because they are wary of the enemy’s treachery.”

The 10-day ceasefire, brokered by US President Donald Trump, comes after some six weeks of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, which began attacking Israel on March 2, days after the beginning of the US-Israeli war with Iran. In response, Israel carried out heavy strikes against the terror group and expanded its ground presence in Lebanon.
