Israeli strikes were also reported on the outskirts of Shmustar town and Wadi Umm Ali, but casualties from those areas have yet to be confirmed. The Israeli military said its fighter jets had carried out “numerous strikes” against what it described as Hezbollah military compounds “used for training and planning attacks against Israel”. Tuesday’s strikes are the latest in a months-long campaign of Israeli military action across Lebanon, despite a ceasefire brokered last November that was intended to end cross-border hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Since the ceasefire, Israel has carried out near-daily attacks, primarily in southern Lebanon, alleging threats from Hezbollah infrastructure. Analysts warn that without firm diplomatic intervention; Lebanon risks being drawn deeper into a prolonged and destabilising conflict.
