Israel Conducts Airstrikes in Southern Lebanon

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has conducted multiple airstrikes in southern Lebanon and Syria, targeting Hezbollah militants and infrastructure, citing violations of a ceasefire agreement that began recently. In southern Lebanon, the IAF targeted armed individuals and Hezbollah facilities, claiming these actions breached the ceasefire terms. Concurrently, airstrikes were carried out in Syria against military sites linked to weapon smuggling routes used by Hezbollah. The IDF emphasized that such operations are critical to neutralizing threats, as Hezbollah is accused of using civilian infrastructure for illicit arms transfers. The violence has resulted in significant casualties, with thousands reported killed in Lebanon since the conflict's escalation in October 2023. Amidst these developments, Hezbollah's leadership has signaled a commitment to the ceasefire, despite ongoing military actions by Israel.
