The IDF announced that it has begun striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in response to the terrorist organization launching projectiles towards Israel in the early morning hours on Monday.
Hezbollah launched the attack “on behalf of the Iranian regime,” the IDF asserted, adding that the military will actively operate against Hezbollah’s decision to join in the regime’s campaign against Israel.
“The Hezbollah terrorist organization brings ruin to the State of Lebanon, and the IDF will forcefully respond to such actions,” the IDF stated.
The military additionally noted that troops were made ready for such Hezbollah strikes and a potential “all-fronts scenario” as part of their preparedness for Operation Roaring Lion.
An IDF statement published shortly after Hezbollah attacked read, “Following the sirens that sounded in several areas in northern Israel, a projectile that crossed from Lebanon into Israeli territory was intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, and several projectiles fell in open areas in accordance with standard protocols. No injuries or damages were reported.”
This attack marked Hezbollah’s first action against Israel’s northern regions since 2024, officially joining the conflict alongside Iran.
This is a developing story.
