Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the country's military to carry out strong strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, the order was issued to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The announcement came as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continued to escalate along the border.

The IDF, in several statements released on Telegram on Saturday, accused Hezbollah of violating the existing ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Both sides have repeatedly blamed each other for breaching the truce, contributing to ongoing instability in the region. The report cited the BBC as its source.

The situation underscores the fragile nature of the ceasefire and the potential for renewed hostilities if the accusations and retaliatory actions persist.
