Israeli Defense Forces Announced New Airstrikes on Hezbollah Sites in Southern Lebanon
Israeli jets pound southern Lebanon just days after fragile truce talks began.
The Israeli Defense Forces announced on Tuesday that its air force conducted multiple strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure across southern Lebanon, targeting what it identified as a key training compound operated by the group’s elite Radwan Force. Additional military structures and a rocket-launch site were also destroyed during the operation, according to military statements.
The attacks mark the most significant escalation since the US-brokered ceasefire came into effect in late 2024, ending more than a year of intense cross-border warfare between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah. Both sides have repeatedly accused each other of violations, but the latest strikes come amid delicate attempts to expand the truce into broader diplomatic engagement.
Less than a week ago, Israel and Lebanon exchanged civilian representatives at a military monitoring committee for the first time, fulfilling a long-standing American demand under President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace framework. The move was seen as a tentative step toward stabilizing the border region and potentially addressing deeper issues such as Hezbollah’s military presence south of the Litani River.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that Israeli warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on several villages in the south, though no immediate casualties were confirmed. Hezbollah has not yet issued an official response, but previous patterns suggest the group may retaliate with rocket or drone attacks, further testing the ceasefire’s resilience.
As tensions flare once again along the volatile Blue Line, international mediators are watching closely to determine whether the fragile 2024 agreement can withstand continued provocations or if the region is sliding back toward open conflict.
