The US has warned Israel that it is violating parts of the ceasefire deal with Lebanon, Hebrew media reports.

US special envoy Amos Hochstein reportedly sent a message urging Israel to uphold the agreement. In particular, he cited Israeli drone flights over Beirut, Hebrew media cited Israeli sources as saying.

The Prime Minister’s office declined to comment.

It comes a day after Hebrew media outlets reported that, according to French diplomatic sources, France has accused Israel of 52 ceasefire violations.

The sources claimed that although Israel was acting against Hezbollah’s own violations, the IDF did not go through the proper channels to report the Lebanese terror group’s transgressions to the US-led international oversight body, of which France is a member, as required by the terms of the agreement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement yesterday that Israel was “very resolutely enforcing the ceasefire agreement, and every violation is immediately being met with an intense reaction by the IDF.” He vowed that this would continue.
