Breaking: Israeli Raids Across Lebanon Target Hezbollah Amid Fragile Truce
Lebanon’s national News agency reported Friday that Israeli forces conducted a series of raids across several border towns and valleys, focusing on areas linked to the Hezbollah group.
The sites named include the kafr Malki Valley and Basalya, Jabal Safi, the Hermel outskirts, and the Bureij area near Jbaa in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region.
Israel said its forces struck targets it described as Hezbollah weapon depots and infrastructure in multiple locations, according to an update from spokesman Avichai Adraee on the X platform.
The clashes come despite a truce reached last November, brokered with American mediation after more than a year of mutual bombardment. The agreement, however, has not halted broader tensions: Israel continues to control sites in southern Lebanon and has carried out attacks to the east and south of the country.
