The Israeli Armed Forces have communicated that they have carried out attacks against alleged facilities of the Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon, in response to an explosion in which two Israeli soldiers have suffered minor injuries.
"In response to the detonation of an explosive device in the security zone, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) have attacked infrastructure belonging to the terrorist organization Hezbollah in southern Lebanon," explains the military statement.
According to the version offered by Israel, the two uniformed personnel were traveling in a vehicle when it detonated an explosive device placed by the Lebanese armed group, an incident that would have occurred "in the security zone of southern Lebanon."
In this "reprisal" by the Israeli Army, "observation posts and positions used by Hezbollah terrorists to prepare and execute terrorist plans against our forces" have been targeted.
Israeli military operations in Lebanese territory have remained active despite the preliminary agreement reached on June 26 with the mediation of the United States, which set the foundations for a permanent ceasefire and contemplated the restoration of Lebanon's sovereignty over the south of the country, as well as the disarmament of Hezbollah, the latter point being outright rejected by the militia.
Since that date, Israel has invoked security reasons and Hezbollah's refusal to accept the pact to sustain the continuity of its armed actions in the area, in the context of the new invasion triggered after the group fired projectiles into Israeli territory in retaliation for the joint offensive launched on February 28 by the United States and Israel against Iran.
