Timeline of Israel Lebanon Ceasefire Violations 2026
The IDF claimed it targeted two Hezbollah operatives, accusing one of facilitating the group's re-establishment. However, the toll of these escalations is heavy. Since the November 2024 ceasefire began, more than 300 people have died in Lebanon, including 127 civilians. UNIFIL peacekeepers have also reported fighter aircraft activity and direct fire impacting near their positions along the Blue Line.
Political Pressure and the 'Green Light' Theory
The timing isn't a coincidence. Following a meeting between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, analysts suggest Israel may have received a 'green light' to ramp up military pressure. Meanwhile, the Lebanese cabinet is under massive US pressure to complete the disarmament of Hezbollah south of the Litani River.
Israel’s continued attacks aim to thwart all efforts made locally, regionally and internationally to stop the ongoing Israeli escalation.
