Between June 16 and June 22, 2025, Israel conducted multiple military operations targeting Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of several Hezbollah members including commanders and operatives, as well as one apparent civilian. These operations involved gunfire, mortar and artillery rounds, and drone strikes in areas such as Nabatieh Governorate’s Bint Jbeil and Marjayoun Districts. Israeli forces claimed to target Hezbollah militants, while Hezbollah confirmed casualties among its ranks. The conflict follows a broader context of ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, with Israel aiming to push Hezbollah from southern Lebanon. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) remains deployed in the region to monitor ceasefire agreements, despite tensions and incidents involving Israeli forces and UN personnel. This escalation is part of a continuing cycle of violence and political stalemate in Lebanon, where Hezbollah maintains a significant military presence despite international resolutions. The situation remains volatile with risks to regional stability and civilian safety. (Updated 25 Aug 2025, 12:54 IST; source: link)
