Israeli military attacks village in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

On January 15, 2026, the Israeli military attacked the village of Sohmor in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, claiming to target Hezbollah infrastructure. This attack is part of near-daily Israeli military actions in Lebanon, despite a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah established in late 2024. Tensions have escalated as Israel and the United States pressure the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah. The Lebanese military claims to have established a state monopoly on arms in southern Lebanon, but Hezbollah has warned that attempting to disarm the group nationwide could lead to chaos and civil war. The Lebanese cabinet has requested a briefing from the army next month on disarmament plans for the rest of the country.
