Between January and late November, Israeli forces carried out nearly 1,600 strikes across Lebanon, according to data compiled by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED).<\/p>\n<p>It justifies its near-daily air raids under the pretence of targeting fighters from Hezbollah and its infrastructure, calling for the group\u2019s full disarmament under the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hezbollah-still-defiant-as-disarmament-deadline-looms\">Hezbollah still defiant as disarmament deadline looms<\/h2>\n<p>Hezbollah, meanwhile, has long rejected disarmament, saying its weapons are necessary to defend Lebanon against Israeli attacks and occupation. On Wednesday, the group urged the Lebanese government to reject Israel\u2019s threats to disarm the group amid fears of Israeli escalation in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">\u201cThe authorities in Lebanon must act decisively and avoid slipping into implementing conditions imposed by the enemy to humiliate our army and people and violate our sovereignty,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\">Lebanon\u2019s government, meanwhile, has claimed it is close to completing the Lebanese group\u2019s disarmament in the south of the Litani River before the year-end deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Under the ceasefire, Israeli forces were also supposed to withdraw from southern Lebanon in January but have only partially pulled out, maintaining a military presence at five border outposts.<\/p>\n<p>More than 64,000 people, mostly from southern Lebanon, remain displaced, according to the UN.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement last week, the Lebanese presidency stressed that enabling displaced Lebanese civilians to return to their villages and homes was \u201can entry point for addressing all other details\u201d of the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli attacks, meanwhile, continue against the backdrop of US-brokered diplomatic talks between Israel and Lebanon.
