Truce on Paper, War on the Ground: Israeli Air Strikes Lebanon 2026
Israeli air strikes Lebanon 2026: One person killed in Bint Jbeil as Israeli forces strike southern Lebanon despite a 2024 truce. Netanyahu labels Lebanese disarmament efforts insufficient.
The 2024 truce promised peace, yet the ground in southern Lebanon tells a different story. On January 11, 2026, the Israeli army launched a series of high-intensity raids, shattering the fragile calm and signaling a dangerous escalation in a region already on edge.
Israeli Air Strikes Lebanon 2026: A Fragile Peace Shattered
According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, an Israeli strike on a vehicle in Bint Jbeil resulted in the death of one citizen. The Israeli military confirmed the operation, claiming it targeted a Hezbollah operative who had violated the late-2024 ceasefire understandings. Simultaneously, over 10 raids pounded the town of Kfar Hatta, north of the Litani River, where an underground weapons storage facility was reportedly destroyed.
Disarmament vs. Distrust: The Battle of Narratives
These strikes follow the Lebanese Armed Forces' announcement that it had completed the first phase of disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office dismissed these efforts as "far from sufficient." Israel remains skeptical, alleging that Hezbollah continues to rebuild its terror infrastructure with Iranian support. Hezbollah, in turn, has refused full disarmament, citing frequent Israeli violations of the truce and its continued military presence in five strategic border areas.
