Israel Strikes Southern and Eastern Lebanon, Targeting Hezbollah and Hamas

Israel conducted airstrikes in areas of southern and eastern Lebanon, targeting infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah and Hamas. Israeli authorities had warned residents to evacuate these areas, with a military spokesperson calling for the evacuation of four communities. Despite a ceasefire that came into effect in November, Israel continues to carry out attacks in Lebanon, claiming to target positions of Hezbollah and Hamas. At least 350 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli strikes since the ceasefire began.
