The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted strikes against approximately 10 Hezbollah infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon on July 3, 2026, citing repeated ceasefire violations. The military also reported the destruction of a Hezbollah terrorist cell transporting weapons in a truck near the security zone.
According to an official IDF statement, the targets in southern Lebanon were identified as sites used to facilitate attacks against IDF soldiers. The operations come amid ongoing tensions regarding the stability of the ceasefire and the movement of weaponry within the border regions.
The strikes focused on logistics and infrastructure, aimed at degrading Hezbollah’s ability to launch coordinated strikes from the Lebanese side of the border. The IDF’s identification and engagement of the weapons-transporting truck further indicate a focus on disrupting the supply chain of militant cells operating near the security zone.
