Hezbollah states that the IDF has failed to seize the hill despite repeated incursion attempts.

๐Ÿ“ The full announcement [click to expand]:
The Israeli enemy is once again making false claims to justify its violation of the ceasefire, which it has never abided by, including the violations it has committed from yesterday night until today.
The Islamic Resistance confirms that it has abided by the ceasefire since the evening of Friday, 19-06-2026, even after the enemy violated it from the first moments, but it has kept its finger on the trigger due to the enemy's constant betrayal and treachery.
Once again, under the cover of the ceasefire, the enemy attempted an infiltration attempt last night towards a hill in Al-Qahtaniya, which remained unoccupied despite its repeated attempts to seize it.
When the infiltrating infantry unit belonging to the enemy's Commando Brigade reached a position of the Mujahideen of the Resistance, the Mujahideen confronted them with appropriate weapons, inflicting a confirmed number of dead and wounded among them.
After that, the enemy carried out intensive raids inside and outside the operation area, targeting as usual the safe civilians to cover up its military failure.
The Islamic Resistance announces that, in parallel with its commitment to the ceasefire, it will not tolerate any attempt by the enemy to seize territory and expand its occupation. Its Mujahideen will be on the alert, fully prepared, to defend their land, their people, and their homeland in a Karbala-style defense, fulfilling their covenant with Allah and their dear people, no matter the sacrifices.

Due to the United States' clear violation of its pledges and breach of the agreement regarding the non-implementation of the first item of the war termination understanding, and in response to the continuous and ongoing violations of the ceasefire by the entity in southern Lebanon, and the resulting brutal killing and displacement of hundreds of thousands of the people of this oppressed country, as well as due to the failure of the occupation forces to withdraw from the lands of southern Lebanon, we announce the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping and maritime navigation.

We affirm that this is the first step in responding to the enemy's breach of its commitments. In the event of continued aggression, additional steps will be planned and implemented to force the enemy to adhere to and fulfill its obligations.
