Israel Launches Airstrikes Across Southern and Eastern Lebanon, IDF Says It Hit Hezbollah Radwan Camp

Overview

• An IDF statement said multiple targets were struck, including what it described as a Hezbollah elite training camp known as Radwan.
• A local military source cited by RIA Novosti reported mass strikes on several areas, naming Jormok, Jbaa, Breij, Rihan, Ansar–Zraria, Tabbana, Zalaya, and the Humin and Rumin valleys.
• The reported attacks mark a significant flare-up under a ceasefire that took effect on November 27, 2024 after nearly 14 months of escalation.
• Under the U.S. plan, the Lebanese army was to deploy in the south within 60 days and Hezbollah was to pull back north of the Litani River, but implementation has been incomplete.
• Israel retained five border positions and reserved the right to respond to violations, and Lebanese forces have not fully enforced a Hezbollah withdrawal or dismantled its infrastructure, according to prior reporting.
