Israel’s military says it has launched precision strikes against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, describing the operation as a response to what it called a blatant ceasefire violation. The announcement comes amid renewed tension along the Israel-Lebanon border.
The Israel Defense Forces said it was compelled to act against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia. The military did not provide further details in the available report about the targets or the extent of the strikes.
Before the operation, Israel called on residents of Mansouri in southern Lebanon to evacuate. The warning accompanied the military’s statement that strikes were beginning in the area.
The developments highlight the fragility of the ceasefire as Israel and Hezbollah exchange accusations over compliance. DW reported that Israel’s military said its actions were intended to address the alleged breach.
