Hezbollah launched rockets and drones toward northern Israel overnight Monday, only hours after US President Donald Trump said the group had agreed to stop its attacks.

Sirens sounded across parts of the Galilee and Golan Heights as projectiles crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory. The IDF said two launches were intercepted and no injuries were reported. Additional alerts were triggered in the western Galilee after a suspected drone infiltration, with the military later saying a suspicious aerial target fell near the border.

Metula also came under alert after a Hezbollah rocket landed near Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon. The IDF reported no casualties.

The attacks resumed roughly three hours after Trump wrote that he had spoken with representatives of Hezbollah’s leadership and that the Iranian-backed group had agreed to stop firing at Israel and IDF forces. Trump also said Israel had agreed to stop shooting at Hezbollah and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had pulled back from a major Beirut raid at his request.

Netanyahu’s office responded with a sharper formulation: if Hezbollah continues firing at Israeli cities and civilians, Israel will strike Hezbollah targets in Beirut. The prime minister’s office added that IDF operations in southern Lebanon would continue as planned.

Hezbollah renewed its rocket and drone campaign in March, prompting Israel to expand air and ground operations aimed at pushing the militia away from the northern border.

The latest launches underline the central problem with ceasefire diplomacy in Lebanon: Hezbollah treats pauses as tactical conveniences, not commitments. Israel, meanwhile, is making clear that security for northern communities will be decided less by declarations in Washington than by what happens on the ground beyond the Litani.
