The Israeli military confirmed it struck Hezbollah operatives and terror infrastructure in several areas of southern Lebanon overnight and continues to do so, citing repeated violations of the ceasefire. The announcement was made by an IDF spokesman Friday morning.
The IDF confirmed Friday morning that its forces conducted and are continuing strikes against Hezbollah operatives and terrorist infrastructure across multiple sectors of southern Lebanon. An IDF spokesperson's statement cited repeated and ongoing violations of the ceasefire as the justification for the operations, which began overnight.
The military's on-record confirmation follows days of background reporting on strikes in the same theater. On Thursday evening, as The Zioneer reported, the IDF said it had struck Hezbollah command posts in southern Lebanon. Earlier overnight strikes on June 8 hit dozens of targets across at least eight towns and villages. The current operation is a continuation of the IDF's active campaign to suppress Hezbollah activity near the border, which the military says has persisted despite a formal ceasefire arrangement.
No specific target locations, the number of strikes, or casualty assessments were included in the IDF announcement. The statement is the first on-record military confirmation of a fresh round of strikes since the latest escalation.
