Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon following a drone attack that caused casualties, including students. Tensions between Israel and militants are rising, with recent strikes resulting in fatalities. The Israeli military issued warnings before launching strikes in specific villages where Hezbollah was believed to be re-establishing itself. The strikes began in Shehour and Deir Kifa, with no immediate reports of casualties. Israel accused Hezbollah of violating agreements by embedding weapons facilities among civilians. The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon has been challenged by recent events.
In another incident, a drone strike in Tiri killed one person and injured several, including students on a bus. The victim’s identity was initially unclear, but the Israeli military later identified the deceased as a Hezbollah operative. Paramedics searched for remains at the strike scene, and the Israeli military claimed it targeted a Hamas training compound, which Hamas denied. Palestinian factions in Lebanon have been surrendering weapons to the government, amid ongoing tensions.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah began after Hamas attacks, leading to widespread destruction and casualties in previous engagements. The recent conflict has had severe humanitarian and economic consequences, with significant casualties reported in both Lebanon and Israel. Efforts to disarm Hezbollah continue, but challenges persist due to ongoing hostilities.
