The Israel Defense Forces announced that it carried out a series of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah weapons storage shafts at multiple locations across Lebanon, citing recent terrorist activity and clear violations of Israel-Lebanon security understandings. According to the IDF, the strikes were conducted against underground arms storage infrastructure in both southern and central Lebanon, areas where militant activity is prohibited under post-2024 ceasefire arrangements.

Israeli officials said secondary explosions were observed following the strikes, confirming the presence of weapons and munitions at the targeted sites. The IDF emphasized that these secondary blasts are a clear indicator that the locations were being used for military purposes rather than civilian activity, reinforcing Israel’s assessment that Hezbollah continues to embed weapons infrastructure in violation of agreed frameworks.

The military stated that the operations were part of Israel’s ongoing efforts to enforce red lines along its northern border and prevent Hezbollah from rebuilding or expanding its offensive capabilities. Israeli authorities stressed that any militant activity near the border constitutes a direct threat to Israeli communities and will be met with decisive action.

Accompanying media released by the IDF included a map marking four separate strike locations, along with satellite imagery and infrared video footage showing precise hits and subsequent detonations. The material was presented as further evidence of the accuracy of the strikes and the military nature of the targeted sites.

Israel reiterated that it remains committed to defending its sovereignty and ensuring security for its citizens, while holding Hezbollah and its backers responsible for destabilizing activity in the region. The IDF warned that it will continue to act against any threats to Israeli territory and will not allow terrorist organizations to exploit ceasefire arrangements to prepare future attacks.
