US EditionIsraeli Army Says It Has Begun Striking Hezbollah Targets in Southern Lebanon
- On Thursday, the Israeli military launched renewed air raids on southern Lebanon's Tyre district, claiming it struck operatives rebuilding military infrastructure amid daily attacks that flout a one-year-old truce while Israel maintains troops in five areas in southern Lebanon.
- Under U.S. and Egyptian pressure, the Lebanese government ordered the army to draft a plan to disarm Hezbollah, and last week Lebanese President Joseph Aoun instructed forces to confront further Israeli incursions.
- The Israeli army said it hit members of Hezbollah's construction unit and vowed to 'continue to operate' on Thursday, while Lebanon's state-run National News Agency confirmed raids near Toura and Aabbasiyyeh with no casualties; Al Jazeera could not independently verify the claims.
- Hezbollah reaffirmed its right to defend itself amid raids, accusing Israel of exploiting Lebanon's divisions, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz warned last week that operations could intensify.
- Nearly a year after Hassan Nasrallah's assassination in September 2024, the situation remains volatile as the two sides meet separately under United Nations auspices without direct talks despite United States and Egypt pressure.
