Israel Hits Hezbollah Sites in Southern Lebanon Over Claimed Cease-Fire Breaches

The strikes follow a U.S.-brokered truce that preserves Israel's right to respond to violations.

Overview

  • The Israel Defense Forces announced a new wave of attacks on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon on Jan. 11.
  • The military said the operations respond to continued violations of the cease-fire by the group.
  • Lebanon's army said it completed the first phase of transferring Hezbollah weapons in the south to state control.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the Lebanese steps yet called them insufficient.
  • Israel withdrew most forces after the truce's 60-day window but kept five border positions inside Lebanon, as Hezbollah's pullback north of the Litani remains incomplete.
