The Israeli military began a series of strikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday evening, shortly after Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivered a speech. Israeli media reports indicate the operation is underway, but have not yet released specific details on targets, locations, or the number of strikes.
The developments come after a period of elevated tensions along the northern border. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Hezbollah has resumed claiming responsibility for attacks against Israeli forces, including a wave of 16 attacks in a single day earlier this month. The IDF has previously responded with waves of strikes in Lebanese territory. The current operation appears to be the first major Israeli response since Qassem's address, the content of which has not been fully detailed in these initial reports.
No immediate confirmation of casualties or damage has been published. Further details are expected as the situation develops.
