On 5th January, the military announced that the IDF had taken the first steps to attack Hezbollah and Hamas terror targets in Lebanon, hours after it had warned that it was about to attack Hezbollah infrastructure.

According to the IDF, the attempts to reconstruct terrorist infrastructure in the region were thwarted by the strikes, which were conducted to the north of the Litani River.

The attack included four attacks, and two underground Hezbollah buildings were among the infrastructure attacked, the army claimed.

The first announcement signaling the strikes was by the IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee on X/Twitter, who cited the places in the towns of Kfar Hatta and Ain Al-Tinah as the targets.

Adraee threatened that something would be done with the efforts by Hezbollah to resume operations in the region. It failed to mention that among the targets of Hamas would be hit.

In a post on X, Adraee used maps of the planned strike locations, the target areas being stipulated in red.

“We are addressing the people in the buildings that are shown in red in the maps attached: You are living near buildings where Hezbollah is housed, and as a precaution, you are obliged to vacate them and avoid them at a distance of at least 300 meters,” he added.

“It is unsafe to stay in the vicinity of the buildings with the marks.”

In the morning, the military had already been reassured that they had struck on Sunday, killing two Hezbollah terrorists in al-Jumayjimah, southern Lebanon.

According to the military, the terrorists were doing so in a bid to revive the infrastructure of the terror group in the region and this was an apparent violation of peace accords between Israel and Lebanon.

Other similar strikes had been conducted over the last few days, where the IDF had killed a Hezbollah terrorist in al-Khiyam on Sunday, and multiple terror infrastructure targets, including one Radwan Force training base, and weapons storage facilities, on Saturday.

IDF is targeting the Hamas terrorists who are set to attack the soldiers in Gaza.

The IDF alleged that it had struck a Hamas terrorist in the southern region of Gaza following the attack on Lebanon on Monday.

The military claimed that such operations were an utter violation of ceasefire agreements between Israel and Lebanon.

The military said that the terrorist was about to attack Israeli forces in the region.

The IDF observed that the strike, which it claimed was carried out in line with the ceasefire agreement, was undertaken along with other efforts that were aimed at minimizing the collateral damage.

The army had preempted deterring the harm against civilians before the strike through the use of accurate munitions, aerial surveillance, and other intelligence.

On Monday afternoon, the military issued another release about the activities of the IDF in preventing terrorists in the southern Gaza Strip.

In the subsequent statement, the Israeli army said a terrorist had crossed the Yellow Line in the region and was posing an immediate threat to the troops in the region.

The suspect was later hit by the air force.

The strikes in Lebanon followed the meeting in Jerusalem on the future of regional security in Lebanon.

This move is followed by an act of the Israelis in Lebanon after the Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar met the UN Special Coordinator to Lebanon Jeanine Hennis on Sunday in Jerusalem to discuss regional security and the future of Lebanon.

Sa’ar reiterated the need to disarm Hezbollah as it would benefit the security of Israel and the future of Lebanon.

The Lebanese government and the Lebanese Armed Forces have tried in this respect, but their efforts are not comparable, among others, in light of the attempts made by Hezbollah to rearm and rebuild, with the help of Iran.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has urged the terror group to lay down their arms.

In addition, the terror group is called upon by Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam to disarm.

He said last week that the weapons must be disposed of for all Lebanese, and that the government of Lebanon would make such a decision.

In response to rumors, he said no one would be throwing them into the sea or giving them to Israel, as a way of fighting rhetoric spread by supporters of the terror group.
