When the political leadership refused to respond to the incident involving the explosive device that killed an Israeli soldier in southern Lebanon, justifying it by saying the device was planted before the ceasefire, the ground was paved for Hezbollah to strengthen its policy of deterrence equations.

Israel fears another Lebanese quagmire, and with good reason, but it is acting according to equations set by (the martyred leader) Nasrallah.

The situation has flipped: from a pretext to remove threats to a situation where the enemy not only responds but also imposes its own equations.

Hezbollah is showing a position of strength, as attempts to target our forces in southern Lebanon have become routine, as have barrages of gunfire toward the north.

We have begun a process to achieve a historic peace between Israel and Lebanon, and it is clear to us that Hezbollah is trying to sabotage that.

We are maintaining full freedom of action against any threat.

We attacked yesterday and carried out other strikes today, and we are determined to restore security.

The Israeli army called in warplanes to confront Hezbollah elements in Bint Jbeil after clashes broke out with the paratrooper brigade today.

In response to the Israeli enemy’s violation of the ceasefire and its targeting of a car on the Shoukin road in southern Lebanon, at 18:30 on Friday, 24-04-2026, the mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance targeted a Hummer vehicle belonging to the Israeli enemy army at the entrance of the town of Qantara with appropriate weapons and achieved a confirmed hit.
