Hawzah News Agency- Hezbollah has dismissed Israel's allegation that the Lebanese resistance movement was behind the rocket attack on the occupied Palestinian territories.

“The Zionist enemy is seeking an excuse to continue its aggression against Lebanon by making false claims,” Hezbollah said in a statement on Saturday afternoon, adding that the regime has continued its attacks despite agreeing to the November ceasefire agreement.

The resistance group reiterated its commitment to the truce deal, stressing that it supports the Lebanese government's follow-up on Israel’s escalatory and dangerous actions against the country's territories.

Earlier, the Israeli military said that it launched airstrikes on southern Lebanon after intercepting three rockets fired towards occupied Palestine, a claim that was neither verified by the Lebanese army nor the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFI).

Media reports say that several people were killed and several others injured as a result of Israeli strikes personally ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu blamed Hezbollah for the rocket incident while his minister in-charge of military affairs accused the Lebanese government of the attack without providing any evidence.

Lebanon reached a ceasefire deal with Israel, which took effect on November 27 and obliged the regime to fully withdraw from southern Lebanon in 60 days.

The deal brought an end to 14 months of conflict but Israel has been repeatedly accused of violating the ceasefire with attacks and with its continued presence in Lebanon in breach of the agreement.
