On the 26th (local time) the Israel Defense Forces said it carried out an
airstrike earlier that day on a HEZBOLLAH weapons storage facility in southern
Lebanon. The military said the site held weapons previously used to attack
Israeli soldiers operating inside the so-called "security zone" and that the
strike was intended to eliminate an "immediate threat." The statement warned any
use of force from Lebanon aimed at harming Israeli civilians or soldiers will be
met with a decisive response, and reiterated the IDF remains committed to
implementing agreements between Israel and Lebanon.
