Israel strikes Hezbollah sites in Labanon, Hezbollah launches attacks on Israeli troop gatherings

2026-05-05 14:25 Last Updated At:14:37

The Israeli forces struck about 15 Hezbollah sites in Lebanon on Monday, while Hezbollah launched rocket and drone attacks on Israeli troop gatherings.

Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli army's 146th Division struck around 15 Hezbollah infrastructure sites, vowing to continue actions against any threats to Israeli civilians and soldiers as directed by political leader.

The Israeli military said that its troops dismantled a Hezbollah underground tunnel in southern Lebanon and seized approximately three tons of explosives, along with landmines, rocket-propelled grenades and other weaponry.

It said several Israeli soldiers were wounded during the operations.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli military gatherings, saying it used "appropriate weapons" for precision strikes in response to Israeli violations of a ceasefire that have caused civilian casualties in southern Lebanese villages.

Israel and Hezbollah have repeatedly accused each other of violating the ceasefire, and the clashes between the two sides have intensified in recent days.

Also on Monday, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said in a statement that the timing for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not yet suitable, and that a security agreement and a halt to Israeli attacks must come first.

The president emphasized that diplomatic engagement remains ongoing, with negotiations centered on achieving security stability and de-escalation. He reiterated that halting hostilities is a prerequisite for any potential political dialogue at higher levels.
