"Hezbollah is committed to the ceasefire agreement, even though Israel has not respected this commitment over the past period," the spokesperson said. "It continues to kill, assassinate, and attack areas, including entering border villages and remaining at the five points."

In recalibrating its position on the Israel-Iran conflict, India’s assessment can’t lose sight of tightrope walking, given the geopolitical, economic and strategic significance both countries hold for India. New Delhi has to straddle diverse worlds of interests between Tehran and Tel Aviv, with an elbow room of its own.
