Israel continues to carry out strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as in the southern suburb of Beirut, despite a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on November 27, 2024. Additionally, Israeli forces remain present at five positions in southern Lebanon.
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said today that the ongoing strikes in Lebanon are a clear message to Hezbollah, which he claimed is planning to rebuild its offensive capabilities via its elite Radwan Force.
Earlier today, the Israeli army announced it had begun bombing targets associated with the Radwan Force in Lebanon’s Bekaa region.
