- Israel carried out more than 150 attacks on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon over the past 30 hours.
- Hezbollah is accused by Israel of over 400 ceasefire violations in recent weeks, including rocket barrages, drone attacks and infiltration attempts.
- United States is moving closer to a possible peace understanding with Iran, but Israel says any broader regional deal must include Hezbollah's disarmament.
- Lt Col Sarit Zehavi said there is no real ceasefire and that Hezbollah continues to plan attacks, while the Lebanese government is afraid to confront Hezbollah.
- IDF estimates Hezbollah still has nearly 50,000 operatives and claims roughly 3,000 fighters have been neutralised so far.
Why it matters: Israel's intensified campaign erodes the fragile 10‑day ceasefire, raising the risk of broader conflict and threatening US‑Iran diplomatic progress, while Hezbollah faces mounting casualties and loss of territory.
