The Shiite Hezbollah militia from Lebanon, which is allied with Iran, has been firing at Israel since the beginning of the Gaza war. A ceasefire has actually been in place since November. This provides for a complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the south of Lebanon. Although this has now largely taken place, there are still five Israeli military posts near the border. The Lebanese leadership views the troops' continued presence as a violation of the agreement and has protested against it on several occasions.
