The group has yet to respond, but said it will do so at the right time.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">The continued Israeli bombardment has drawn sharp criticism from the United Nations, which reported in November that at least 127 civilians, including children, have been killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire took effect in late 2024. UN officials have warned the attacks amount to \u201cwar crimes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">The attacks come as Lebanon and Israel recently dispatched civilian envoys to a committee monitoring their ceasefire for the first time in decades, a move aimed at expanding diplomatic engagement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">However, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem criticised Lebanon\u2019s decision to send former Ambassador Simon Karam to the talks, calling it a \u201cfree concession\u201d to Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Lebanese officials have expressed frustration over Israel\u2019s near-daily attacks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The continued Israeli bombardment has drawn sharp criticism from the UN, which has recorded dozens of civilian deaths.
