  • Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened further attacks against Hezbollah and anyone targeting Israeli soldiers or citizens.
  • The threats followed a new wave of Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon that killed at least 11 people, according to Lebanese agency Ani.
  • The escalation marks one of the most severe since a truce between Israel and Hezbollah was reached in June.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a stark warning of intensified attacks against Hezbollah and any entities that harm Israeli soldiers or citizens. "No account, on any front, will remain open. We will strike with all our might those who harm our soldiers and our citizens," Katz stated on X.

These pronouncements come in the wake of renewed Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese agency Ani reported that at least 11 people died in these strikes on Saturday. The Israeli military (IDF) confirmed it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in response to an attack on its troops, which resulted in three soldiers being seriously injured.

This escalating conflict represents one of the most significant confrontations since a fragile truce was established between Israel and Hezbollah in June. The heightened tensions underscore the volatile security situation along the Israel-Lebanon border.
