Israel launched an intensive wave of strikes on southern Lebanon late on March 7, targeting what it claimed to be military sites of Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s National News Agency (ANA) said that more than 20 strikes targeted the Zaghrabin hill in Jabal al-Rayhan in the Jezzine region, the towns of Yatar and Ziqin, a valley in the town of Babliyeh, the town of Tabna, the Marais’ area located between the towns of Ansar and al-Zarariyeh, as well as the al-Hamdaniya area between the towns of Kafrwa and Azza.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that the strikes hit sites used by Hezbollah to store weapons and rocket launchers, adding that the targets posed a threat to Israel.
“The weapons and the rocket launchers in the military sites posed a threat to the State of Israel and constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the statement reads.
These were the most violent strikes to target Lebanon since the completion of the United States-brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah on February 18. However, there were no reports of any casualties.
Earlier in the day, ANA reported that two civilians from the Hezbollah-linked Jihad al-Bina organization tasked with inspecting the damage caused by previous Israeli strikes on the southern town of Kfar Kila were killed, and a third person of Syrian nationality was critically injured as a result of Israeli forces opening fire on them opposite the town’s wall.
The U.S.-brokered ceasefire put an end to a heated conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that broke out more than a year earlier as a result of the war in the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah, which lost all of its commanders and took heavy losses during the conflict, has so far refrained from responding to the IDF repeated strikes on Lebanon.
While Israel took some losses during the fighting, which lasted for more than 14 months, there is no doubt that Hezbollah lost deterrence. Now, the IDF is exploiting this new reality to make sure that the group never rebuild its combat capabilities in any part of Lebanon. Hezbollah will likely be able to adapt to this new reality without making some serious changes in its political strategy and its internal structure.

this is a cease fire. i repeat it for the dumbest of the goyim : this is a cease fire.
in the middle east now, ceasefires are for losers. that’s jewsa rules.
hundred of rockets have hit israel during many months, thousands of israeli civilians left their homes, all israeli bases( intel, radar) close to the border were destroyed, israel has lost thousands of soldiers and tanks&vehicles, therefore israel can attack using air force but cannot deter rockets attacks if hzb star begin attacking israel
but israel has broken all truces and all agreements . this is verified by anyone but the us and israel . and of course hasbara script writers and repeaters .
u.s. brokered cease-fire? when did israel ever stop firing? never, not one day. this is what a u.s. cease-fire looks like. lies, coercion and threats. lebanon ‘negotiated’ their own country away. now they will never have peace, security or prosperity. what did they think u.s. arm twisting would result in?…maybe now the new ‘government’ will understand how important resistance is…unless the money is too good.
lebanon will be ripped apart soon…just like syria…just like gaza…heheheh…
hold tight rabid vile weed your date with destiny approaches.
it will not be from humans either. g*d created all life on this planet. g*d will bring justice to those who do evil deeds.
ripped apart ? ? just like your freckle when that big butch bull of a boyfriend comes around again to slot you, eh sissy ? heheheh 🙂
illegally of course !
the jews will have to go to be gone the hard way for the future of all middle eastern people. their future will be infinitely much better when the jews are either buried deep in the sand or transported to another place – say usa!
if you formed a nation in violation of well over 60 united nations statutes and agreements . and thought a plan to make all surronding nations enemies and peoples . you would have israel .
more illegal war by zionist israel . in violation of agreements . there is no agreement that israel will honor , follow or respect . ever .
the world will be a much better place once the goyim have finished off the jews – no need for jews anywhere!
and europe need to get rid of the nazi-princess who is busy wrecking europe.
