One of the Israel Defense Forces' most significant operations in southern Lebanon is underway in the village of Tebnit, against several dozen Hezbollah terrorists holed up in an underground compound belonging to the Badr Unit. The military describes the infrastructure found there as the unit’s “nerve center” and exceptional in scope. The IDF believes Hezbollah’s pressure to halt the operation stems from concern over a strike on one of its main power centers.
Amid criticism from Trump and talks with Iran, IDF soldiers and commanders say their room for maneuver has been reduced: "The army is deep inside Lebanon, and we are exposed."
An explosive drone first hit near a Givati Brigade tank, then a second struck the evacuation vehicle – leaving one soldier in serious condition as the IDF responded with artillery.
According to a Saudi report, the Iran-US agreement includes timetables for an Israeli withdrawal and an end to the security deployment in southern Lebanon. Jerusalem has yet to respond to the matter.
IDF strikes Hezbollah targets in Dahiyeh district in response to fire at Israel. Jerusalem seeks to preserve its freedom of action in Lebanon even if a memorandum of understandings is signed between Washington and Tehran. Lebanese officials believe an agreement with Iran could advance a ceasefire, but Israel is signaling that fire at its territory will be met even in the heart of Beirut.
The IDF struck Hezbollah infrastructure site in Dahiyeh. Lebanon reports at least one fatality. Netanyahu at cabinet meeting: "We will not allow Hezbollah fire at our territory or our communities, and we will act accordingly." Iranian foreign minister threatens: "Any attack in Beirut will lead to renewed war."
Hezbollah rockets keep falling on Israel's border towns even as Washington declares a truce, with residents and polling alike signaling deep frustration.
Trump says he spoke with Netanyahu and Hezbollah through representatives to prevent an Israeli move into Beirut and halt cross-border fire, after Iran warned that renewed strikes in Lebanon could collapse the ceasefire.
The main operation is focused on gaining control of the Beaufort ridge and the Wadi Saluki area, which in recent years were considered major Hezbollah activity hubs. The IDF claims terrorist infrastructure was built in the area under Iranian guidance, from which operations against Israel were directed and various attack plans were prepared.
