Israeli Air Force strikes Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon after anti-tank missile attack. No casualties reported despite ongoing ceasefire violations.

"During the night, the Air Force struck infrastructure of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, from which the organization's terrorists operated - IAF"

Tel Aviv, May 4

The Israeli Air Force on Monday struck Hezbollah infrastructure, saying the terrorists operated from the spot.

It said that forces of the 91st Division attacked the launch position from which the missile was fired.

In a post on X, the IAF said, "During the night, the Air Force struck infrastructure of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, from which the organization's terrorists operated, after an anti-tank missile was launched toward our forces in southern Lebanon, with no casualties. Within a short time, forces of the 91st Division attacked the launch position from which the missile was fired."

As per Al Jazeera, Israel attacked Debaal, Qana, Srifa and Qalaouiyah as well as Zawtar al-Sharqiya, Toulin, Shehour and Braashit. Despite an April 16 ceasefire, Israel and Hezbollah have continued to trade blows in southern Lebanon, where Israel maintains troops.

At least two people have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the southern Lebanese town of Shhour, as per Al Jazeera.

The Israeli military said it carried out a series of strikes against targets in southern Lebanon on Saturday.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its forces struck multiple sites linked to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon over the past day, targeting what it described as 'militant infrastructure' used to plan and support attacks.

"Over the past day (Saturday), the IDF struck numerous terrorist infrastructure sites and eliminated terrorists operating adjacent to IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon," the military said.

It added that around 70 military structures and approximately 50 Hezbollah-linked infrastructure sites were dismantled across several areas. According to the IDF, the targets included command centres, weapons storage facilities, military buildings, and other sites allegedly used to advance attacks against Israeli forces.

"The IDF will continue to operate against threats directed at Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, in accordance with directives from the political echelon," the statement said.

Israel has the right to defend itself, but this level of destruction seems disproportionate. 70 military structures destroyed in a single day? It's hard to believe Hezbollah's threat justifies such widespread bombing. Are we any closer to peace?

As an Indian watching this from afar, I see parallels with our own border tensions. The key difference is the international dynamics at play here. Hezbollah using civilian areas to launch attacks is condemnable, but bombs from the sky don't discriminate between terrorists and villagers. This needs a political solution, not more airstrikes.

I'm surprised the ceasefire lasted only a couple weeks. Why does the media always report these incidents from the Israeli perspective? The toll on Lebanese civilians is rarely highlighted properly. Al Jazeera mentions 2 killed, but that's likely just the tip of the iceberg.

The timing is concerning. Just when regional tensions were cooling down, this happens. India maintains good relations with both Israel and Iran-backed groups like Hezbollah. This is a diplomatic tightrope for us. I hope our government pushes for de-escalation through UN channels.

Both sides are at fault here. Israel's occupation of Shebaa Farms and constant bombing violate international law. Hezbollah's rocket attacks and hiding among civilians are equally wrong. The ceasefire was fragile and needed genuine commitment from both parties, which was clearly lacking. We need a two-state solution and respect for UN resolutions.
