In an update published by Punch (AFP), Israel said it carried out a new wave of strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets in Lebanon, including weapons storage locations and a training complex, despite the ceasefire framework still formally in place.
Lebanon’s media and official channels reported strikes across multiple districts, with the Israeli military framing the attacks as preventive action against infrastructure it says supports planned operations.
The development underscores the fragility of the ceasefire environment, as both sides trade accusations while Lebanon faces pressure to accelerate disarmament efforts in the south.
The security risk is regional spillover: repeated raids can trigger retaliation cycles, domestic political tension inside Lebanon, and wider diplomatic fallout.
Times of Israel reported the IDF hit a “training compound” used by Hezbollah’s “elite Radwan Force,” while Euronews said the site was used for “training operatives” and “planning attacks,” citing Israeli claims.
Echotitbits take:
The ceasefire may be alive on paper but increasingly porous in practice. Watch whether disarmament timelines hold, whether strikes shift to higher-value assets, and whether diplomacy can prevent a wider escalation loop.
