Hezbollah Claims Attack on Northern Israel over Truce Violations
In a statement, the group said its fighters targeted an Israeli artillery position in the area of Kfar Giladi using rockets and drone strikes. It claimed the site had been involved in recent shelling directed at southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah said the operation was a response to what it called “blatant and documented Israeli violations that have exceeded 200 breaches” since the ceasefire began, including attacks on civilians and damage to homes and villages in southern Lebanon.
The group said the escalation came despite a 10-day ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel that entered into force on Friday.
On the Israeli side, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel intends to maintain control over areas it occupied in southern Lebanon during recent military operations.
According to official figures cited in the report, Israeli strikes on Lebanon since March 2 have killed 2,294 people, injured 7,544, and displaced more than one million residents.
