Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Monday they had instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to strike Hezbollah terror targets in Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahiyeh, citing repeated violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon.
The Dahiyeh district in the southern suburbs of Beirut is widely regarded as a major Hezbollah stronghold, where the Iran-backed terror group organization maintains significant political, military, and logistical infrastructure.
On the ground in northern Israel, rocket alerts sounded in multiple areas, including the Krayot region near Haifa, marking the first advance warning there since the ceasefire agreement.
The IDF said its expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon continue, following the capture of the strategic Beaufort ridge, while Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks persisted.
Emergency services responded to several incidents, including a fire in the Tel Dan Nature Reserve caused by a rocket impact, which was brought under control without casualties.
In Beit Hillel, firefighters handled a direct strike on a structure; no one was trapped, though crews secured a gas leak and disconnected electricity sources.
The Prime Minister’s Office declined to disclose further details about the meeting.
Smotrich said the campaign should target terrorists, weapons, tunnels and other infrastructure.
