Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to conduct military strikes on Hezbollah targets located in the Dahieh district of Beirut, Lebanon. This decision comes in light of Hezbollah's ongoing violations of the ceasefire agreement, which has been in effect since April 17. Netanyahu's office stated that these actions are necessary due to repeated attacks on Israeli cities and citizens by the Shia militant group. The situation has escalated following an increase in drone attacks on Israeli territory, prompting Netanyahu to intensify military responses against Hezbollah. In a recent development, Israeli forces have also advanced into southern Lebanon, taking control of a strategic hilltop that overlooks Beaufort Castle, a site of historical significance. The IDF had previously maintained control over this location from 1982 until 2000. The continued exchanges of strikes along the Lebanese-Israeli border highlight the fragile nature of the ceasefire and the ongoing tensions between the two sides.
