Smoke billowed from Nabatieh district in southern Lebanon on Friday (June 27) following Israeli strikes.

According to a post on X written by the Israeli army’s spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted a site used by Hezbollah to manage fire control and defence systems.

“This site is part of an underground project that was taken out of service as a result of IDF raids in the area”, he said, adding that the IDF detected attempts to rebuild it .

Lebanese president Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes in a statement published on his X account, denouncing what he called “Israel’s continued violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and the November ceasefire agreement.”

A U.S.-brokered truce in November ended a year-long war between Israel and Iran-backed Lebanese armed movement Hezbollah.

The latest war between longtime foes Israel and Hezbollah began in October 2023, when Hezbollah launched rockets at Israeli military positions in solidarity with its Palestinian ally Hamas.

Israel escalated the following year in a heavy bombing campaign that killed thousands of Hezbollah fighters, destroying much of its arsenal and eliminating its top leadership, including its then-secretary general Hassan Nasrallah.
