The Lebanese army has attributed an incident near an observation post on the southern border to Israeli actions. The attack occurred on Tuesday, in the Marjayoun region, involving a low-altitude Israeli drone issuing warnings to Lebanese forces. The Lebanese military has responded by reinforcing the post and instructing personnel to retaliate. Details of the attack method remain unspecified.
Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon have been ongoing, despite a ceasefire agreement established in November 2024 intended to cease hostilities with Hezbollah. The Israeli military has not commented on the recent event.
The Lebanese foreign minister highlighted potential consequences for Lebanon if a conflict arises between the United States and Iran, a Hezbollah ally. The minister noted possible Israeli strikes on Lebanese targets, including an airport, amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to safeguard civilian infrastructure.

In the previous year, the Lebanese government committed to disarming Hezbollah and has tasked the military with developing a disarmament plan. The military has been working to dismantle Hezbollah's facilities and confiscate its weapons. The first phase of this plan, which aims to bring non-state weaponry under control from the Lebanese-Israeli border to the Litani River, has been completed.
Despite these efforts, Israel has deemed them insufficient and maintains regular military actions. These actions have drawn condemnation from Lebanon and international entities, including the United Nations, which reported at least 127 civilian fatalities since the ceasefire was implemented. The Lebanese government has recorded over 2,000 ceasefire violations by Israel in late 2025.
Recently, Israel targeted a Hezbollah site in eastern Lebanon and Hamas-linked targets in the south, resulting in 12 fatalities, including civilians. Hezbollah reported the death of eight fighters and vowed continued resistance. The potential for US-Iran conflict persists, with the US ordering the evacuation of non-emergency personnel from its Beirut embassy. The US has expressed a preference for diplomacy but remains prepared for military action if necessary. US-Iran talks are scheduled to continue in Geneva.
