“Strike with force”: Netanyahu greenlights IDF offensive against Hezbollah

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the IDF to “strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon with force,” his office said in a brief statement.

The order follows rocket and drone fire launched by Hezbollah toward northern Israel and Israeli troops deployed in southern Lebanon on April 25, Caliber.Az reports via Israeli media.

Hezbollah has been conducting several attacks daily against Israeli forces positioned in southern Lebanon during the ceasefire, while stating that it is acting in response to alleged Israeli violations of the truce.
