TL;DR

The IDF said Friday morning it struck Hezbollah operatives and terrorist infrastructure in several areas of southern Lebanon overnight, following repeated violations of the ceasefire. The strikes mark a continued escalation as ground operations and aerial attacks persist across the region.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF confirmed Friday morning that it struck Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure targets in several areas of southern Lebanon overnight, citing repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement. The military said in a statement that strikes were conducted through the night and continue into the morning.

The confirmation comes amid a sustained IDF campaign against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, the IDF has maintained a tempo of strikes since at least June 8 — including large-scale overnight raids on eight towns, controlled demolitions near the border, and daytime operations in the Tyre area. Hezbollah has continued to fire anti-tank missiles and rockets at Israeli forces despite the announced ceasefire, as reported by the desk on Friday June 15.

The current wave of operations follows the return of Shia civilians to areas that have not yet been fully cleared of weapons, which Israeli sources have described as enabling renewed Hezbollah fire. No casualty figures or specific target locations were provided in the IDF's statement.
