Lebanese group Hezbollah said Sunday that it carried out 12 attacks in the last 24 hours against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon and northern Israel, Anadolu reports.

The attacks included strikes targeting military vehicles, drone jamming systems and launchers belonging to Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system.

The group said in a statement that the attacks came in response to Israeli ceasefire violations and attacks on southern villages.

Hezbollah said it targeted an Israeli military engineering vehicle with drones in the southern Lebanese city of Bint Jbeil.

The group also said it struck a technical device and a command vehicle at the Jal Al-Allam site in northern Israel, claiming direct hits.

According to Hezbollah, an Israeli Heron 1 drone was confronted above Lebanon’s Bekaa region with a surface-to-air missile, forcing it to leave the area.

The group said it targeted four Iron Dome launchers at the Branit and Ramim barracks, in addition to three Drone Dome anti-drone jamming systems at Nimr Al-Jamal, Al-Jardah and Naqoura.

Hezbollah also said it targeted gatherings of Israeli soldiers in Deir Siryan and Bayyada using artillery and drones.

In recent months, Hezbollah drones, particularly fiber-optic-guided models, have raised growing concern in Israel due to the difficulty in detecting and intercepting them. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described the drones as a “major threat” and urged the military to develop ways to counter them.

More than 3,100 people have been killed, and 1.6 million displaced in the latest Israeli assaults in Lebanon that started March 2, after Hezbollah’s retaliation to the Iran war, according to Lebanese officials.

Israeli attacks continue despite a US-mediated ceasefire that is supposed to remain in effect until early July.

Nigel Farage objects to criticism of the IDF.

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

The European Union condemned on Sunday repeated Israeli ceasefire violations in Gaza and called for full respect for international humanitarian law.

Hadja Lahbib, the European commissioner for equality, preparedness, and crisis management, condemned Israel’s repeated violations of the ceasefire and its ongoing strikes in the Gaza Strip.

“We condemn the repeated violations of the ceasefire in Gaza, where hundreds of Palestinians were killed and injured by Israeli strikes over the weekend,” Lahbib said in a statement shared on US social media company X.

Lahbib stressed that international humanitarian law must be upheld and that civilians must be protected everywhere and at all times.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel has continued its attacks, killing 524 people and injuring 1,360 others since Oct. 10, 2025, according to Gaza’s media office.
