The Israeli army said Hezbollah had launched several rockets toward troops operating in southern Lebanon, adding that the attack targeted forces stationed in the Rab al-Thalathine area inside the Israeli-held security zone.
“Hezbollah violated the ceasefire by firing several rockets at Israeli troops,” the military said, describing the incident as a serious breach of the agreement.
According to the Israeli military, it responded within minutes by striking the launcher used in the attack.
The army also reported a separate aerial threat, saying sirens in northern Israeli communities were triggered by the interception of a drone launched from Lebanon. The drone was shot down before it crossed into Israeli territory, the military said, correcting an earlier suggestion that the alerts may have been a false alarm.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah on the Israeli claims. The incident comes at a sensitive moment, with both sides engaged in a second round of talks expected later this week aimed at stabilising the ceasefire.
Tensions remain high across the region, with Yemen’s Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi warning that further escalation is likely.
“There is no doubt that further rounds of fighting are coming it is merely a truce within a continuous conflict,” he said in a televised address.
Recent attacks linked to Iran-backed groups have raised fears that the conflict could widen further, including threats to key shipping routes in the Red Sea.
