Netanyahu Orders More Strikes on Hezbollah as Israel Hits Lebanon
The military said it struck more than 70 Hezbollah sites overnight as Netanyahu vowed to hit the group harder after drone attacks.
- On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to escalate operations against Hezbollah, with the IDF striking more than 70 infrastructure targets across Lebanon using approximately 85 munitions, including command centers and weapons storage in Tyre.
- Hezbollah has fired over a thousand drones and over 700 rockets since the ceasefire took effect, prompting the escalation despite a 45-day extension agreed in May, according to a U.S. State Department official.
- At least 17 people were killed in strikes on southern Lebanese towns including Mashghara and Kafr Roummane, as Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for expanded bombing, stating "For every explosive drone, 10 buildings must fall in Beirut."
- After Netanyahu's video message Monday, residents began evacuating Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, while military officials from both countries prepare to meet Friday at the Pentagon to discuss the ceasefire.
- Israeli officials expressed alarm that Netanyahu has been largely excluded from U.S.-Iran negotiations, with President Donald Trump claiming Netanyahu will "do whatever I want him to do," signaling strain in their strategy alignment.
