03-26, 2025The Israeli military stated that they attacked dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed militia group and political organization. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reported that the airstrikes resulted in seven fatalities, including one child, and forty injuries, highlighting the devastating human cost of the conflict.
Several armed groups, including Hezbollah and Palestinian factions, are active in Lebanon, and no organization has yet claimed responsibility for the attacks. Hours after the initial round of attacks, the Israeli military conducted a second round of strikes overnight on targets within Lebanon, including command centers, infrastructure sites, and a weapons storage facility, escalating the conflict further.
The Lebanese military stated that they had dismantled "three makeshift rocket launchers" in the south, and the Lebanese Defense Minister stated that an investigation into the attacks had been launched. Hezbollah stated that it was not involved and would continue to abide by the ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) stated it was "appalled by the potential for escalation of violence," urging both Israel and Lebanon to "uphold their commitments" to de-escalate tensions.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun condemned "attempts to drag Lebanon into a cycle of violence," while Prime Minister Najib Mikati stated that the escalation poses "the risk of dragging the country into another war." These developments have put pressure on the fragile truce brokered by the United States and France, which aimed to end more than a year of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, creating uncertainty about the future of the region.
