Israel launched its biggest wave of airstrikes across Lebanon less than a week after the ceasefire was announced, killing at least 11 people on Monday. The Israeli attack came as a response to Hezbollah’s shelling, which came as a warning about Israeli ceasefire violations. According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, an airstrike on the southern village of Haris killed five people and wounded two, while another airstrike on the village of Taloussa killed four people and wounded two. It was the first time the Lebanese militant group targeted Israeli forces since a 60-day ceasefire took effect last Wednesday.

According to Israel, the shells fell in open areas and no casualties were reported. Responding to the attack, the IDF said the IAF struck Hezbollah militants, dozens of launchers and terrorist infrastructure across Lebanon shortly before. Additionally, the IAF attacked a Hezbollah launcher in the area of Barghoz in southern Lebanon shortly after the launch of two projectiles towards Mount Dov. Hezbollah’s launch tonight is a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon.
It added, the State of Israel demands that relevant parties in Lebanon fulfill their responsibilities and cease Hezbollah’s hostile activity within Lebanese territory. The State of Israel is obliged to fulfill the terms of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon. The IDF is ready to continue operations where necessary and will continue to work to protect Israeli civilians.
