Overview

• Israel’s air force struck mountainous positions above Nabatieh in two waves, targeting what the military called an underground Hezbollah site for managing fire and defense systems.
• A subsequent strike on a residential building in Nabatieh killed one woman and wounded at least 11 people when its top floor was destroyed.
• President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the operations as breaches of the November ceasefire and violations of national sovereignty.
• Since the US-brokered truce took effect on November 27, 2024, Israel has retained forces in five border posts and conducted almost daily air raids across southern Lebanon.
• Continued strikes highlight the fragile enforcement of ceasefire terms that bar Hezbollah south of the Litani River and require full Israeli withdrawal under UN Resolution 1701.
