The initial wave of Israeli airstrikes hit high-ranking officials from Shiite movement Hezbollah, along with its headquarters and infrastructure, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Northern Command Chief Major General Rafi Milo said on Monday.
"Shortly after Hezbollah’s rocket fire, in accordance with planning, we launched a first broad wave of strikes in Beirut and southern Lebanon, targeting senior operatives, headquarters, and terrorist infrastructure. We are also acting to evacuate civilians in southern Lebanon ahead of further strikes," Milo was quoted as saying by the IDF on Telegram.
Lebanon has repeatedly accused Israel of systematically violating its sovereignty, despite the November 2024 ceasefire deal. The Israeli military maintains a presence at five strategic points in southern Lebanon, including the northern part of the village of Ghajar, which the Lebanese authorities consider to be a continuing occupation and a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The Israeli army claims that the strikes are targeting the military infrastructure of Hezbollah. Israel has repeatedly emphasized that it will continue to strike Lebanon in order to eliminate the leaders of Hezbollah's military wing and the threat posed by the Shia movement.
