Iran, Hezbollah Vow to Keep Fighting Israel

Ceasefire Still Holding After Israeli Airstrikes

Tensions Remain High in the Region

Tehran, Iran - Top Iranian and Hezbollah officials have vowed to continue fighting Israel, despite a ceasefire that has been in place since last week.

In a speech on Saturday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that "Israel will pay a heavy price" for its airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah echoed Larijani's sentiments, saying that the group will "not hesitate to confront any Israeli aggression."

The ceasefire was brokered by the United States and France after a week of fighting that left dozens of people dead. The ceasefire has been holding so far, but tensions remain high in the region.

Iran and Hezbollah are both major supporters of the Syrian government, which has been fighting a civil war for the past seven years. Israel has carried out a number of airstrikes in Syria in recent years, targeting Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed forces.

The airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon were the first since the 2006 Lebanon War. The strikes were in response to a Hezbollah attack on an Israeli military convoy that killed two Israeli soldiers.

The ceasefire has been welcomed by both sides, but it is unclear how long it will hold. Tensions between Israel and Hezbollah remain high, and there is a risk that the fighting could resume at any time.

Here are some of the key points to remember about the situation:
