Israeli airstrikes struck Aanan in southern Lebanon, targeting sites associated with Hezbollah and Hamas following evacuation alerts issued to local residents. The operation marks a breach of the 2024 U.S.-brokered ceasefire with the groups and underscores ongoing tensions along Israel’s northern border.
Video footage from the nighttime operation shows a series of sequential explosions and fires across the village, capturing the scale and intensity of the strikes from an elevated viewpoint. Observers noted multiple blasts over at least 20 seconds, highlighting the precision and coordination of the targeting.
Israeli officials stated that the strikes were conducted to neutralize imminent threats posed by militant forces and to prevent potential attacks on Israeli territory. Evacuation warnings were issued prior to the operation to minimize civilian casualties.
The airstrikes come amid heightened regional tensions, with both Hezbollah and Hamas maintaining active military positions in southern Lebanon. Analysts suggest the operation reflects Israel’s continued commitment to preemptive action against perceived threats while balancing operational constraints in a volatile area.
Local authorities and international observers continue to monitor the aftermath of the strike, with assessments underway to determine the impact on militant infrastructure and any potential collateral damage. The situation underscores the fragility of existing ceasefire arrangements and the challenges of maintaining stability in the region.
