The Israeli military launched the strikes following reports of over 50 projectiles fired by Hezbollah forces overnight. While Israeli officials described the response as a necessary action against militant targets, Hezbollah accused Israel of committing hundreds of truce violations, warning that such aggression would not go unanswered. The group further alleged that Israeli troops attempted to infiltrate the Ali al-Taher hill area, prompting direct engagement from its fighters and subsequent air raids.
Despite the ongoing hostilities, the Israeli military maintains it is committed to the ceasefire in accordance with political directives from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz. However, reports from Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 indicate that forces currently occupying southern Lebanon have been ordered to remain in place rather than withdraw. Hezbollah has countered by stating it will not permit Israeli freedom of movement within the territory, asserting that armed resistance remains legitimate as long as foreign troops occupy the region.
The human toll continues to mount, with a single strike on a residential building in Barish killing a family of four. According to Lebanon's health ministry, more than 4,057 people have been killed in the conflict since March 2. Meanwhile, the U.S.-backed understanding that facilitated the ceasefire remains precarious, as Israel continues to oppose specific provisions it claims limit its ability to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure.
