Israel launched airstrikes on Lebanon in response to a rocket attack from Lebanese territory, marking the first cross-border exchange since a ceasefire was established. The Israeli military stated that the strikes targeted sites linked to Hezbollah, which it holds responsible for the attack.
The rocket fire from Lebanon had set off air raid sirens in northern Israel, though no casualties were reported. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) warned that any aggression would be met with force, emphasizing its right to self-defense.
The escalation raises concerns about renewed hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, despite efforts to maintain stability in the region. International mediators have called for restraint to prevent a broader conflict.
