Israeli forces struck three Hezbollah command posts in southern Lebanon overnight, in response to what the source calls 'Hezbollah violations' that included the killing of an IDF soldier, according to a report Monday. The strikes follow a series of Israeli military operations against the group over recent days.
The IDF confirmed Monday morning that it struck three Hezbollah command posts in the Nabatieh and Mayfadoun areas of southern Lebanon, in response to continued attacks that wounded Israeli soldiers and killed Capt. David Hazut. The military said the Israel Air Force conducted the strikes, and earlier a multi-dimensional unit attacked a Hezbollah launcher still attempting to target troops. The operation was framed as a response to 'ceasefire violations' by the Lebanese militia, including the killing of an IDF soldier identified as David. This marks the third published version of the story this morning, following earlier reports that did not yet detail the multi-dimensional unit engagement or the specific soldier's name.
The thread began at Mon 09:53 Jerusalem with an initial report that the IDF struck three Hezbollah command centers following ceasefire violations, referencing the death of Capt. David Hazut. By the second version, also at Mon 09:53, the IDF's statement included a targeted strike on a Hezbollah launcher and confirmed Hazut's rank and role. The third version, also at Mon 09:53, added that the multi-dimensional unit attacked a launcher still actively targeting troops. All three versions were published simultaneously, indicating this was a phased release of details rather than a timeline of events.
As The Zioneer reported on Sun Jun 28, 15:06 Jerusalem, a single source said Hezbollah broke the ceasefire overnight, opening fire on IDF troops, with no Israeli response as of Sunday afternoon. That report followed a pattern of friction along the Lebanon border since the November 2024 ceasefire, including multiple Hezbollah claims of responsibility for attacks on Israeli forces (Fri Jun 19, 16:51 Jerusalem) and IDF operations eliminating senior commanders (Sun Jun 14, 18:59 Jerusalem).
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit has not officially commented on the specific operation as of publication, though the military's own statements form the basis of this report. It remains unclear whether the three-command-center strike referenced here is a new, separate wave or a delayed summary of earlier engagements, as the thread shows multiple versions of the same morning operation.
