01 · THE DISPATCH

Since midnight Saturday, the Israeli Air Force has struck dozens of terrorist targets across southern Lebanon, as reported by the IDF-aligned channel. The strikes come hours after the formal ceasefire declared Friday took effect, continuing a pattern of IDF activity claiming full freedom of action against Hezbollah threats. Lebanese media have begun reporting casualties—multiple killed and dozens wounded—though numbers remain unverified. This is the latest wave in a sustained air campaign that the IDF has described as preemptive strikes on Hezbollah positions and weapons sites. The current operation remains ongoing as of 09:42 Jerusalem time, with no indication from the IDF that the strikes are concluded.
