Israel bombs Lebanon saying it targeted Hezbollah and Hamas

Following the release of “evacuation orders” for four villages in the east and south of Israel, the military of Israel launched attacks on what it called “targets” of Hezbollah and Hamas in Lebanon.

In the villages of Hammara and Ain el-Tineh in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley and Kfar Hatta and Aanan in the south, according to a spokesman for the Israeli army, it was planning airstrikes against Hezbollah and Hamas’ “military infrastructure.”

Different families were seen fleeing the village by an AFP news agency photographer in Kfar Hatta following an Israeli drone warning. Fire trucks and ambulances are on call.

In 2024, Israel and Lebanon reached a US-brokered ceasefire, which put an end to more than a year of intense fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. Israel has occupied five of the country’s five locations on several occasions while repeatedly violating the truce by using bombs.

Lebanon’s leaders fear that Israel could launch additional strikes because the country is under growing pressure from the US and Israel to disarm Hezbollah.
