Hezbollah drone strikes target Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon
Hezbollah launched drone attacks targeting Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon, injuring several, while Israel conducted airstrikes and ordered evacuations from 16 villages, further straining the fragile ceasefire. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting drones but did not verify casualty claims, as cross-border violence persists despite the truce. Both sides continue military operations, with Hezbollah rejecting Lebanon’s diplomatic talks with Israel and Israel asserting its right to self-defense. U.S. efforts to mediate have stalled, amid broader regional tensions involving Iran and internal Lebanese political divisions.
