Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Southern Lebanon, Testing 2024 Ceasefire

UN monitors warn of violations of Resolution 1701, sharpening calls to reinforce the ceasefire’s verification.

Overview

  • Israel’s military said it hit several Hezbollah-linked sites, including a Radwan Force training compound, multiple buildings and a rocket-launching position.
  • Lebanon’s National News Agency reported waves of air raids on Mount Safi, Jbaa, the Zefta Valley and the area between Azza and Rumin Arki, with damage to homes.
  • There were no immediate reports of casualties from the latest attacks, following a December 1–7 period with no reported casualties despite multiple Israeli operations.
  • UNIFIL described recent Israeli airstrikes as clear violations of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and urged use of liaison and coordination channels.
  • Diplomatic activity is expanding as Israel and Lebanon send civilian envoys to the truce committee and Lebanese leaders signal openness to external verification roles after the November 23 killing of Hezbollah commander Haitham Tabtabai.
