Israel launched airstrikes on southern Lebanon overnight, targeting what it described as Hezbollah infrastructure. The strikes came in response to rocket fire from Lebanese territory earlier in the day. Despite the exchange, a partial truce brokered by the United Nations appears to be holding, with no major escalation reported on either side.
According to the Israeli Defense Forces, the strikes hit observation posts and weapons storage sites. Hezbollah did not confirm any casualties but released a statement condemning the attack as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) confirmed that both sides have shown restraint, urging continued adherence to the ceasefire.
The truce, agreed upon last week, was intended to de-escalate tensions along the border. It calls for a halt to attacks and the establishment of a buffer zone monitored by UNIFIL. Analysts say the latest incident is a test of the ceasefire's durability. The situation remains fragile, but diplomatic channels remain open.
