Israel Conducts Targeted Strikes in Southern Lebanon Amid Rising Tensions

The Israeli military announced on March 3 that its 91st Division is conducting operations in southern Lebanon, deploying at multiple points near the border. According to Jin10, the Israeli forces are targeting Hezbollah facilities to neutralize perceived threats. The military warned that Hezbollah would bear the consequences of any attacks on Israel. Despite a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon in November 2024, Israeli airstrikes on Lebanese targets remain frequent. In the early hours of March 1, Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei by the United States and Israel. In response, Israel launched airstrikes across Lebanon, including in the capital, Beirut, resulting in over 200 casualties.
