OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Israel's army said it carried out several strikes against Hizbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon on Monday, despite Lebanon this month announcing progress in disarming the militia.

 

Israel has continued to launch regular strikes in the area even after a ceasefire was agreed with Hezbollah in November 2024 to end more than a year of hostilities.

 

Last week, the Lebanese army said it had completed disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani River in the first phase of a nationwide plan, though Israel described those efforts as insufficient.

 

The five villages mentioned by NNA lie north of the Litani, an area not included in the first phase of disarmament.

 

On Friday, another Israeli strike killed one person in Lebanon's south, according to the country's health ministry.
