Overview

  • Israel conducted 14 airstrikes in the Nabatiyeh region of southern Lebanon on Thursday, targeting alleged Hezbollah tunnels and weapons depots.
  • The strikes resulted in one death and eight injuries, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
  • The Israeli army claimed the strikes aimed to neutralize Hezbollah infrastructure but provided no independent verification of the targets' nature.
  • Lebanese Prime Minister Salam condemned the attacks as violations of UN Resolution 1701, which underpins the November 2024 ceasefire agreement.
  • This escalation follows an April strike in Beirut, further straining the fragile truce brokered by the U.S. and UN to end prior hostilities.
