NEWSAR · AI

Following an order from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "vigorously attack" Hezbollah, the Israeli military conducted strikes across southern Lebanon. These actions were described by Israel as targeting Hezbollah's military infrastructure in response to perceived threats to its soldiers operating in the region. Hezbollah, in turn, claimed to have targeted an Israeli army vehicle in retaliation for an earlier Israeli strike. The exchanges involved the killing of Hezbollah members and the identification of a "suspicious aerial target" by the IDF, which was deemed a violation of the ceasefire. Lebanon's state-run news agency reported multiple strikes in various southern Lebanese towns following Netanyahu's directive.
