The Israeli army carried out strikes throughout the weekend in southern Lebanon, causing 18 deaths in two days. It announced on September 7 that it would continue its operations against Hezbollah.
Eighteen people died in two days in southern Lebanon under Israeli strikes. This toll is part of a military escalation sequence that began on Thursday, when the Israeli army announced it had taken control of the Ali Taher ridge, a position considered strategic by the pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement.
Since this announcement, strikes have multiplied in the region. On September 7, the Israeli army officially declared it would continue to « conduct operations to eliminate the threats » posed by Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The capture of the Ali Taher ridge marks an operational turning point: this high ground position offers a considerable tactical advantage over the southern Lebanese terrain, and its control by Tsahal represents a notable progression in the Israeli military deployment against the armed movement.
