Israel Launches New Wave of Strikes in Lebanon Targeting Hezbollah

Israel frames the strikes as a response to Hezbollah ceasefire violations.

Overview

  • Israel’s military announced it began hitting Hezbollah targets across several areas of Lebanon on January 15, citing ongoing breaches of the truce.
  • A Lebanese field source reported that airstrikes struck buildings in the southern towns of Sohmor and Yohmor, with a nearby Lebanese army patrol leaving the area before the attack.
  • The Israel Defense Forces had earlier posted Arabic-language warnings with maps marking sites in the two towns as intended targets.
  • The military says it is striking Hezbollah’s military infrastructure to degrade the leadership of the group’s armed wing.
  • Lebanese authorities report more than 4,500 Israeli attacks since 2025 with hundreds of casualties and say Israel retains five border positions they view as violating UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
