On December 9, 2025, Israel launched multiple air attacks targeting Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, including Mount Safi and the Zefta Valley. The Israeli military stated the strikes hit a special operations training compound and rocket-launching sites. These attacks follow repeated Israeli violations of a US-brokered ceasefire agreement established in 2024 after over a year of clashes with Hezbollah. Lebanon's president stated his country is pursuing negotiations with Israel to halt the ongoing attacks. A UN report in November stated that at least 127 civilians have been killed in Lebanon since the ceasefire went into effect, with UN officials warning of potential war crimes.
