Israel Launches Strikes Across Lebanon After Intercepting Rocket Attack

Israelโ€™s military launched new air and artillery strikes and demanded the Lebanese government help enforce a November cease-fire with Hezbollah.

Israeli forces launched a wave of strikes across parts of Lebanon in response to rocket launches targeting the Galilee region on March 22.

In a press release, the Israeli military reported its air forces intercepted a trio of rockets that had crossed over from Lebanon into Israeli airspace on Saturday. The Israeli military subsequently announced its forces struck dozens of suspected rocket launchers and a command center it said were operated by terrorist group Hezbollah.

Reports published by Lebanonโ€™s official National News Agency indicated Israeli aircraft and artillery had struck more than a dozen different communities across southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah began firing rockets at Israeli-controlled areas on Oct. 8, 2023, just hours after Hamas launched extensive attacks on Israelโ€™s south. Israeli forces returned fire across the Israelโ€“Lebanon border for nearly a year, before sending ground forces into Lebanon in October of last year.

On Nov. 27, 2024, the Israeli government agreed to enter into a cease-fire, under which its forces would halt strikes on Lebanon and withdraw its ground forces from the country within 60 days. In turn, the Lebanese government agreed to rein in Hezbollah and establish control over its southern border region.

โ€œThe rocket fire launched this morning toward the Galilee constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and is a direct threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,โ€ the Israeli military said in a March 22 statement. โ€œThe State of Lebanon bears responsibility for upholding the agreement.โ€

Saturday marks the second instance in which Israel has reported facing rocket fire from Lebanon since the cease-fire went into effect. The last rocket attack took place in December. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have routinely struck targets across Lebanon since the cease-fire deal went into effect in November.

Israeli leaders have also repeatedly extended their troop presence in Lebanon beyond the originally planned 60-day withdrawal deadline on Jan. 26. On Feb. 18, as the second withdrawal deadline came up, Israeli leaders announced their ground forces would remain at five outposts located at key strategic points within Lebanonโ€™s borders.
