Hezbollah said it launched a wave of strikes against Israeli military positions, targeting troop gatherings, Iron Dome air defence platforms, and northern settlements on Monday.
According to a statement detailing 41 attacks throughout the day, the group said it carried out the military operations in response to Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement and ongoing assaults on civilians in southern Lebanon.
The attacks featured rocket barrages and drone strikes aimed at Israeli forces positioned along the southern Lebanese border and inside northern Israel.
Salvos targeted troop gatherings in the settlement of Kiryat Shmona, Ma’alot-Tarshiha, and an Israeli air control base, whilst an explosive drone struck an Iron Dome missile launcher, according to Hezbollah.
In southern Lebanese border villages, intense clashes and ambush operations took place against advancing Israeli invading forces, the group said, including against military gatherings and Israeli vehicles in Dibbine, al-Qantara, Yohmor al-Shaqif, and near the Beaufort Castle (Qalaat al-Shaqif).
