The IDF announced it has launched targeted strikes in southern Lebanon, responding to what it called a 'blatant violation' of the ceasefire by Hezbollah. An evacuation warning was issued to the village of Mansouri, and reports from the area indicate about two wounded in Tebnine.
The IDF accused Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire in a statement issued at 15:42, warning it would be forced to act 'with force'. Minutes later, the IDF Arabic spokesperson issued an evacuation notice to residents of the village of Mansouri in southern Lebanon. At 16:05, the military confirmed it had begun conducting targeted strikes in the area, describing the operation as a response to a 'blatant violation' by Hezbollah. Reports from the Shia village of Tebnine, approximately 10 km east of the border, indicate two people were wounded in the strikes. The IDF advised northern Israeli residents to expect sounds of explosions in the coming hour. As The Zioneer reported at 16:14, this marks the first significant Israeli military action in southern Lebanon since the ceasefire was established. The IDF has not specified the nature of the Hezbollah violation that triggered the strikes.
