Escalating Tensions: Israeli Military Strikes Hezbollah Targets in Southern Lebanon

The Israeli military launched strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, targeting a training compound and military structures. The attack follows diplomatic efforts to stabilize the Israeli-Lebanese ceasefire, which has seen violations despite U.S.-brokered peace talks initiated in 2024.

The Israeli military announced on Tuesday a series of strikes targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon. The operations included attacks on a training compound used by Hezbollah's elite Radwan forces and other military structures, according to the military statement.

This development follows the recent diplomatic interactions between Israel and Lebanon, where civilian envoys were deployed to a military committee to uphold a ceasefire. This move was part of broader peace discussions encouraged by U.S. policies under President Donald Trump's Middle East peace agenda.

Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement in 2024, which aimed to bring an end to prolonged hostilities, tensions have persisted with each side accusing the other of repeated violations. Lebanon's National News Agency, NNA, confirmed a series of Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon.
