The Israeli military claims Hezbollah in Lebanon has "violated the ceasefire agreement."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement on the 22nd, claiming that Hezbollah in Lebanon had "violated the ceasefire agreement" and that the IDF would take action to "eliminate the threat." The statement said that Hezbollah had launched a drone at IDF soldiers south of the "forward line" in southern Lebanon, an action the IDF claimed violated the ceasefire agreement and which it had intercepted. The IDF also stated it would continue to take action to "eliminate any threats to Israeli civilians and troops." In another statement released that day, the IDF claimed that its soldiers discovered weapons, including rocket launchers, ammunition, drones, and firearms, during operations to dismantle armed infrastructure in several areas south of the "forward line." The IDF stated that these weapons and equipment were originally intended for use by Hezbollah militants in attacks against IDF forces. Furthermore, the IDF said that the previous day in the Saluqi region of southern Lebanon, two militants were found "crossing the forward line and approaching IDF soldiers," posing a "direct threat," and the IDF subsequently launched an airstrike, killing the two men.
