Israel Conducts Strikes on Hezbollah Sites in Southern Lebanon Citing Ceasefire Violations

On February 28, 2026, Israel's military conducted strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, citing repeated ceasefire violations by the group. The ceasefire, agreed upon in November 2024 after a year of conflict, has seen ongoing Israeli strikes aimed at preventing Hezbollah's rearmament. Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have condemned these actions as breaches of the ceasefire. These developments coincide with recent Iran-US talks in Geneva and a significant US military buildup near Israel, including the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford.
