The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes against Hezbollah facilities in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, specifically in the Baalbek region

The action took place on Thursday and had as its main target the Radwan Force, considered the elite unit of the terrorist group supported by Iran.

According to the IDF, eight military complexes used to store weapons – including rockets -, train fighters and plan attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians in Israel were hit.

These facilities were part of Hezbollah’s efforts to reorganize and rearm, something that, according to Israel, directly violates the terms of the ceasefire negotiated with US mediation in November 2024.

The Radwan Force has gained prominence in recent years because it was long prepared for a possible invasion of northern Israel, with plans that included capturing communities in Galilee.

Israel points out that this model served as inspiration for the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 people in the south of the country.

The IDF reinforced that it continues to monitor and act to prevent any attempt to rearm Hezbollah, including locating and destroying weapons, observation posts and combat positions in areas of southern Lebanon in recent months.

The group, in turn, has intensified military and security meetings, which increases tensions in the region even after the truce agreement.

The ceasefire should have led to the disarmament of Hezbollah by the Lebanese government, but the group’s activities persist, maintaining the risk of new clashes.

Israel has already warned, through indirect channels, that tougher responses – including against civilian infrastructure in Lebanon – could occur if the situation escalates, especially in scenarios involving Iran and the United States.
