Israel’s military says it launched strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in south Lebanon, accusing the group of violating ceasefire terms agreed in 2024.

Lebanon's parliamentary elections, scheduled for May and widely seen as a new test for the country's main political players, remain in limbo.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry said Saturday that Israeli strikes on eastern Lebanon killed 10 people and wounded 24, including three children.

Both sides reached a ceasefire in November 2024 after a year of conflict, yet Israel continues military action, saying it enforces provisions against the group's rearming.

Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon signal a wider strategic push tied to U.S.-Israeli pressure on Iran, with Hezbollah positioned as Tehran’s key retaliatory force and fears rising of a multi-front regional war.

Israeli tensions with Hezbollah are rising a year after there was a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which was supposed to end the conflict with the terrorist group. Hezbollah started a conflict with Israel in October 2023 after Hamas attacked Israel.

By Laila Bassam and Enas Alashray BEIRUT, Feb 21 (Reuters) - At least 10 people were killed and 50 wounded in Israeli strikes in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, two security sources told Reuters, after the Israeli military said it had targeted Hezbollah sites in the Baalbek area.

The militia's threat came as the US Embassy in Israel said it had authorized the departure of non-essential personnel on Friday.
