Israel said on Thursday that its forces struck Hezbollah positions across several areas in Lebanon after accusing the group of repeated ceasefire violations.
A warning had been issued earlier in the day to residents of selected buildings in the village of Sohmor, where an Israeli military spokesperson said people should leave ahead of potential action.
It was one of several alerts issued in recent weeks as tension along the frontier has ebbed and surged despite the truce.
The ceasefire, brokered by the U.S. in 2024, ended a long stretch of fighting that had left Hezbollah significantly weakened after sustained Israeli strikes.
Both sides have since accused each other of ignoring the terms of the agreement, creating an uneasy calm that has repeatedly been tested by sporadic exchanges.
Lebanese officials are now facing sharper pressure from Washington and Israel to accelerate efforts to dismantle Hezbollah’s arsenal.
Behind closed doors, senior figures in Beirut have warned that a broader campaign could unfold if they fail to move quickly enough.
The country is still recovering from years of economic strain and infrastructure damage, and the prospect of heavier strikes has left political leaders weighing limited options.
While the confrontation remains contained for now, each new incident feeds concern that gradual escalation could upend the fragile balance that has held since the ceasefire.
