Israel claimed to have struck Hezbollah underground facilities near Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon’s Nabatiyeh Governorate on Sunday.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the site contained military infrastructure, including underground installations.

The IDF said the existence of the site violated a November 2024 ceasefire agreement that ended two months of open war.
“The existence of the site and the activity within it constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF said. Under the ceasefire agreement, Lebanon’s army, backed by UN peacekeepers, is deploying in the south to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure.
The strike followed a string of recent operations. On Friday, the IDF killed Ahmad Naeem Maatouk, a Hezbollah Radwan Force commander, north of the Litani River. A day earlier, Israeli aircraft struck several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, including a rocket launcher.
Israel says it will continue targeted attacks until Hezbollah is disarmed.
U.S. envoy Thomas Barrack said Tuesday that Lebanon is expected to present a proposal by Aug. 31 to persuade Hezbollah to disarm without the use of force. He added that Israel would outline a framework for an IDF withdrawal once Lebanon unveils its strategy.
