Hezbollah accused Israel of “escalating violations” of a ceasefire on Friday, as inflamed hostilities in Lebanon threaten tenuous negotiations between the US and Iran.

In a statement, the Iran-backed militant group said it “will remain vigilant against any aggression,” accusing Israel of “committing massacres” and “destroying residential buildings.”

Israel’s military launched a wave of lethal strikes across Lebanon Friday after Hezbollah killed four of its soldiers . At least 21 people were killed in those Israeli attacks , according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Israel has shown no signs of halting its attacks in Lebanon even after Tehran and Washington stipulated an “immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon,” in the latest iteration of a ceasefire agreement.

Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah flared in early March before Israeli and Lebanese officials announced a truce that the militant group was not party to in mid-April. However, that tenuous deal has been marred by heavy Israeli bombing and Hezbollah drone attacks in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.
