Between June 16 and 22, 2025, Israeli forces conducted multiple operations targeting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of several Hezbollah operatives, including commanders, and 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 reported killing Hezbollah terrorist Mohammad Abdelsalam Nasrallah near Houla. The Israeli military stated its intent to target Hezbollah militants, while UN peacekeepers in the region have reported damage to their installations and injuries to personnel amid ongoing tensions. The conflict follows a broader pattern of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, including a ceasefire agreement in November 2024, which has been challenged by continued military actions. The situation remains volatile, with Israel aiming to limit Hezbollah’s military presence in southern Lebanon, and UNIFIL continuing its peacekeeping mandate across multiple locations in the area.
