The IDF confirms launching airstrikes in southern Lebanon overnight and this morning, saying they came in response to "repeated violations of the ceasefire" by Hezbollah. In several incidents overnight, Hezbollah launched some 50 projectiles at Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon, the military says in a statement. "These constitute repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Hezbollah terror organization. The IDF will not accept harm to Israeli civilians and its forces, and will respond forcefully to any use of force against them," the statement says. The military does not provide information on any casualties in Hezbollah's attacks, nor does it comment on claims that it attempted to advance toward the Ali Taher ridge near Nabatieh overnight. The IDF says that in response to the "blatant violations" and to "remove threats," the IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah sites and operatives across southern Lebanon. The targets included rocket launchers, weapon depots, and command centers, according to the military. "The IDF is committed to the ceasefire agreement in accordance with the directives of the political echelon and will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and IDF troops," the military adds.
