Israel Intensifies Strikes in Southern Lebanon Amid US Criticism Ongoing Cross Border Violence Escalates Israeli forces carried out new air and drone strikes in southern Lebanon, according to Lebanese state media. The attacks hit several areas, including Mansouri, Aaziyyeh, Nabatieh al Fawqa, and Kfar Tebnit. Several people were injured. Israel has not issued a direct comment on these latest strikes. However, its military confirmed that five of its soldiers were injured in a drone attack carried out by Hezbollah, the Iran backed armed group operating from Lebanon. Political Pressure From United States US President Donald Trump publicly criticized Israel’s actions in Lebanon. Speaking at an international summit in France, he said Israel needed to act more responsibly in the region. He also said the conflict with Hezbollah has continued for too long and warned that civilian suffering is increasing. Trump stated he maintains a strong relationship with Israel’s leadership but disagreed with recent military decisions. Regional Tensions Around US Iran Agreement The strikes come after a reported US Iran understanding aimed at reducing wider regional conflict. Pakistan has said the agreement also includes steps related to Lebanon. Despite this, violence between Israel and Hezbollah has continued since the announcement. Both sides have exchanged attacks, including rockets and air strikes. Earlier strikes on Beirut added further pressure on diplomatic efforts to stabilize the situation. Leadership Statements and Escalation Risks Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces would remain in Lebanon as long as necessary. Iran’s military leadership warned Israel of a strong response if attacks in southern Lebanon continue. Lebanon’s health ministry reports that more than 3,800 people have died since the conflict escalated. The figures include both fighters and civilians. Israeli officials report casualties on both sides of the border, including soldiers and civilians. Background of the Conflict The conflict intensified after Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel following earlier regional tensions involving Iran. Israel responded with widespread air strikes and ground operations in southern Lebanon. Since then, cross border fighting has continued, drawing in regional and international attention.
