Israeli forces continue strikes in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire

The Israeli army is persisting with operations in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure claiming to eliminate “any threats” in the region.

An Israeli military spokesperson, posting on the army’s Arabic X account, defended these actions as measures to protect Israeli citizens while allegedly “maintaining the terms of the ceasefire.”

Though Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a tenuous truce last week, which includes Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon within 60 days and Hezbollah’s repositioning north of the Litani River, Israeli strikes continue.
