Hezbollah says it launched 22 attacks on Israeli forces in the past 24 hours, claiming its fighters used drones and rocket barrages against Israeli military positions and troop deployments in southern Lebanon.
The group framed the attacks as a response to continued Israeli strikes on Lebanon, as tensions along the border keep rising despite repeated talk of ceasefire efforts. The claim has been reported as Hezbollah’s statement, meaning the scale of damage or casualties has not been independently confirmed from the reports available.
The timing is significant. Israel has continued striking areas across Lebanon while insisting its operations are aimed at Hezbollah targets. Lebanese officials, however, say Israel has carried out thousands of attacks during the ceasefire period, leaving civilians, villages and border communities trapped between diplomacy and bombardment.
For Lebanon, the message is clear: while leaders discuss de-escalation, the front line is still burning. Hezbollah’s latest claim signals that Israeli strikes are not stopping the fighting — they are feeding another round of escalation.
