On August 6, 2025, the Israeli Air Force launched a major wave of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including munition production and storage sites. The strikes mark a sharp escalation despite a ceasefire agreement signed in November 2024. The offensive comes amid U.S. pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah, with the Lebanese government pledging to enforce a state monopoly on arms by year’s end—a move Hezbollah has strongly opposed.
