On January 5, 2026, Israel launched attacks on what it claimed were Hezbollah and Hamas targets in Lebanon, issuing evacuation orders for four villages. The Israeli military stated the strikes targeted "military infrastructure" in Hammara, Ain el-Tineh, Kfar Hatta, and Annan. Dozens of families fled Kfar Hatta following an Israeli warning, with drone activity reported. A drone strike in Braikeh wounded two people, with Israel claiming the target was Hezbollah members. These attacks follow a previous strike that killed two people and allegedly targeted another Hezbollah member. Despite a 2024 ceasefire, Israel has continued attacks and occupies five areas in Lebanon, leading to increased pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.
