Bulukumba News – In southern Lebanon, the booming never really stopped. Even as the world hears the word “ceasefire,” residents on the border continue to live in a fragile state of silence—between the sounds of explosions that come and go like stifled breaths.
Half-collapsed houses stood as witnesses. The streets were quiet, but tension was thick in the air. In the sky, every sound of planes or artillery was a signal: peace had not truly arrived.
In the midst of this atmosphere, the two forces, namely Hezbollah and the Zionist ‘Israel’, spoke again – not with bullets, but with accusations that were no less sharp.

Netanyahu: “Hezbollah violations destroy ceasefire”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly accused Hezbollah of undermining the peace deal.
“It must be understood that Hezbollah’s violations, in practice, destroy the ceasefire,” Netanyahu said at the weekly cabinet meeting as quoted by Al Jazeera.
This statement came after the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was extended for three weeks the previous Thursday. The extension is expected to be a path to more permanent stability.
However, on the ground, the situation said differently. Hezbollah immediately denied this accusation.
“(We) strongly warn of the extreme danger of attempts to involve the Lebanese authorities in a bilateral agreement solely between Washington and Netanyahu, in which Lebanon has no say or position,” Hezbollah said in a statement on Telegram, as reported Al JazeeraSunday 26 April 2026.
Not stopping there, Hezbollah also emphasized that their actions were a response to the Israeli attack.
“Continued resistance targeting Israel’s enemy encounters on our occupied lands, and its bombing of settlements in occupied northern Palestine, is a legitimate response to persistent ceasefire violations since the first day of the temporary ceasefire declaration,” the statement added.
This statement also implies that Hezbollah will continue to fight as long as they assess that violations are still occurring.

Questionable ceasefire
Hezbollah also touched on the meaning of the ceasefire itself.
“The extension of the ceasefire for several additional weeks, according to the Lebanese authorities, should lead to a real ceasefire in which the enemy will stop its violations and attacks, especially the bombing and destruction of homes in the south,” Hezbollah explained.
However, they assess that the reality on the ground is quite the opposite.
“However, instead of doing that, they have increased their aggression and attacks, asserting their criminal nature, treachery and disregard for all international laws and conventions,” he continued.
At this point, a ceasefire is no longer a clear agreement. It turns into an interpretation—which differs from one party to another.

Lebanon is in the midst of a tug-of-war
Behind these narrative battles, Lebanon is in a difficult position. The country is not only the location of the conflict, but also the party directly affected by any escalation. Infrastructure is damaged, residents are displaced, and a sense of security is becoming a rare commodity.
Hezbollah even highlighted that Lebanon has no position in deals involving major powers.
This statement underscores the complexity of the conflict: it is not just a war between two parties, but an intersection of regional and global interests.
Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah are nothing new. However, in this latest context, the situation becomes more dangerous because it occurs in the midst of ceasefire efforts.
Usually, a ceasefire is a stopping point. Now, he has actually become a new source of conflict. Any attack is considered a violation. Every reply is considered justification. This circle keeps turning with no clear end point.
What is the meaning of a ceasefire if there is no trust in it? That question now hangs over the Lebanese sky.
When Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah continue to blame each other, the world is witnessing the same thing: peace that has lost its meaning.
On paper, the conflict might stop. But in the field, the sound of the explosion still spoke louder than words.
And as long as that happens, Lebanon will continue to live between two realities—a war that has not yet finished, and a peace that has never really existed.***
