Israel Defense Forces intensifying operations in Southern Lebanon

Jerusalem, April 26, 2026
The Israel Defense Forces struck several structures in Southern Lebanon on Sunday and issued evacuation alerts to seven villages in Southern Lebanon.

Military buildings and launchers used to advance terror plots by the terror organization Hezbollah were struck, stated the IDF in a post on X on Sunday.

The spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, Avichay Adraee, issued alerts for Mefdon, Shukin, Yahmar, Arnoun, Zoter Sharqiya, Zoter Gharbiya, and Kafr Tibnit villages in Lebanon to evacuate.

He said, “In light of the terrorist Hezbollah party violating the ceasefire agreement, the Defense Army is compelled to act against it forcefully.”

He asked the people located in the area to evacuate their homes and stay at a distance of “no less than 1000 meters outside the specified area.”

The Israel Defense Forces clarified that “The attacked buildings were used by the terror organization Hezbollah to advance terror plots against IDF forces and the State of Israel.”

Hezbollah launched two explosive drones overnight towards Israel Defense Forces operating in Southern Lebanon, and both drones fell in open terrain without injuring any forces, stated the Israel Defense Forces.

The Israel Defense Forces called it a blatant violation of the ceasefire understandings by the terror organization Hezbollah.

“The IDF will continue to act resolutely against threats to the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces, and is operating in accordance with the directives of the political echelon,” added the post.

The Israel Defense Forces also reported that a stockpile of anti-tank missiles belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization was located by the forces of the 146th Division in southern Lebanon on Saturday.

The Israel Defense Forces struck buildings used by the Hezbollah terror organization, including the “Radwan Force” unit, for military purposes, and a warehouse used to store combat equipment south of the forward defense line on Saturday.

The Air Force successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target launched from the direction of Lebanon towards Israeli territory after alerts were activated in several areas in the northern part of the country on Saturday, said the Israel Defense Forces.​

The Israel Defense Forces also stated that they struck launchers of the Hezbollah terror organization in the areas of Dir al-Zahrani, Kafr Reman, and Al-Sa’miya in southern Lebanon, north of the forward defense line.​(Agency)
