Lebanon, Israeli ground operations over the 'yellow line' of the truce: 28 dead
Various Israeli media say this. 104 people were injured in Beirut and its surroundings in 24 hours. Over 3,000 people have lost their lives since March. In Gaza more than 900 dead and 2,700 injured since October 2025
Israeli soldiers have begun operatingoverland in Lebanon beyond the 'yellow line' - the buffer zone, some ten kilometres from the border - established by the April armed truce. This was reported by Channel 12 citing reports from Lebanon that Idf forces were also spotted in areas not controlled by the army. For now, the IDF has not commented on the news.
The operations, Israeli media explained, were launched as part of an effort to push Hezbollah militants further north and reduce the threat of explosive drone attacks against Israeli communities in the north. According to a security source quoted by Times of Israel, troops would conduct targeted raids, based on intelligence information, both beyond the advanced defensive line and north of the Litani River, focusing on areas where Hezbollah maintains infrastructure and operational bases.
The army, sources explain, believes that moving Hezbollah forces away from the border could help reduce the threat to the inhabitants of the northern communities. The operations come alongside intensified Israeli Air Force air raids in southern Lebanon, with the Israel Defence Forces announcing night raids against more than 100 Hezbollah sites and militants in the Beqaa Valley in eastern Lebanon and across the south of the country.
According to the army, the raids targeted weapons depots, command centres, observation posts and other infrastructure used by Hezbollah to plan and execute attacks against troops and civilians.
In a raid in the Mashghara area in the Beqaa Valley, the army explained that it had struck infrastructure where Hezbollah militants had been identified, killing them in a series of attacks carried out within seconds of each other.
