The Israeli military has expanded its attacks on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon. According to the IDF, targets in several regions were hit on Thursday—from Nabatieh in the south to the Bekaa Valley in the east of the country. The targets included weapons depots, training centers, and production facilities for precision missiles.
An Israeli fighter jet destroyed an ammunition depot that, according to the IDF, was used by Hezbollah to prepare attacks against Israel. The terror organization is deliberately endangering the Lebanese civilian population by concealing military infrastructure in residential areas.
Attacks in the Bekaa Valley
The Israeli military had already struck several targets in the southern Bekaa Valley earlier. According to military intelligence, these included a training ground for Hezbollah fighters and a facility for manufacturing components for precision missiles.

Weapons depots and logistical facilities belonging to Hezbollah were also attacked in the Sharbine area in the northern Bekaa.

Jerusalem loses trust in Beirut
Israel accuses Beirut of failing to fulfill its obligations in dealing with Hezbollah. According to a report in the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, which is close to Hezbollah, Jerusalem assumes that the Lebanese government has not implemented its commitments to contain or disarm the terror organization.
The ceasefire signed in November 2024 between Israel and Lebanon was intended to end the fighting along the border that had been ongoing for over a year. Nevertheless, according to the IDF, Hezbollah continues to conduct operations and rebuild military infrastructure. Israel is responding with precise airstrikes.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem had already stated in July that his organization would not allow itself to be disarmed. They were “rebuilt, stronger, and ready.”
Elimination of a Radwan commander
