Israel announces new attacks on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon

The Israeli Army announced this Friday a new round of attacks against positions of the Hezbollah party-militia in southern Lebanon, where it has bombed a “training facility” despite the ceasefire agreed more than a year ago between the Israeli authorities and the Lebanese group.

The Israeli forces have indicated in a statement released through social networks that the areas attacked were “used by Hezbollah’s elite force”, where they “trained the organization’s terrorists” to later carry out attacks.

They have also explained that this attack takes place after a similar one perpetrated earlier this week against a Hezbollah “training center”, also in southern Lebanon.

“The terrorists were subjected to shooting exercises and additional training in the use of various types of weapons with the aim of planning and executing terrorist attacks against the Army and citizens of the State of Israel,” the text states.

Israel has launched dozens of bombings against Lebanon despite the November 2024 ceasefire, arguing that it is acting against Hezbollah activities and ensuring that, therefore, it does not violate the pact, although both Beirut and the group have been critical of these actions, also condemned by the United Nations.

The ceasefire contemplated that both Israel and Hezbollah had to withdraw their troops from southern Lebanon. However, the Israeli Army has maintained five posts in the territory of its neighboring country, something also criticized by the Lebanese authorities and the Shiite group, which demand an end to this deployment.
