Israel’s military has launched over 50 strikes on “terror targets” across Lebanon in the past month, defying a fragile November 27th, 2024 ceasefire with Hezbollah. The latest attack on south Beirut’s Dahiyeh suburb, the third since the truce has ignited tensions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to crush Hezbollah’s operations. Lebanese leaders including President Joseph Aoun are urging the US and France to intervene, while Hezbollah’s Naim Qassem calls the strikes unjustified. As cross-border violations fuel fears of renewed conflict, X users are buzzing with #IsraelLebanon2025, demanding clarity on the escalating crisis.

Details & Context
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) reported striking over 50 Hezbollah-linked targets since the ceasefire including a Sunday attack on a Dahiyeh building allegedly used to store precision-guided missiles. Netanyahu’s office emphasised that Israel will not allow Beirut’s southern suburbs to serve as a “safe haven” for Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militant group. The strikes, detailed in a military statement on April 28th, 2025 targeted rocket launchers, command centers and weapons storage sites across Lebanon from Sidon to the Bekaa Valley.

The November ceasefire, brokered by the US and France aimed to end 13 months of deadly clashes sparked by Hezbollah’s rocket attacks in solidarity with Hamas on October 8th, 2023. Under the deal, Hezbollah was to withdraw fighters and weapons north of the Litani River, 30 km from Israel’s border, while Israel was to exit southern Lebanon. However, Israel maintains troops at five “strategic” positions which Lebanon calls a violation. Hezbollah, weakened by the loss of senior leaders like Hassan Nasrallah, denies recent rocket fire as noted in X posts by @LebanonPulse.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the Beirut strike, urging ceasefire guarantors to halt Israel’s actions. Hezbollah’s Naim Qassem labeled the attack a “political” move to alter ceasefire terms, per Reuters. X users like @MiddleEastEye report growing frustration in Lebanon, with #CeasefireViolations trending as locals fear a return to war. The strikes follow a pattern of near-daily Israeli operations with the IDF claiming Hezbollah’s continued presence in the south justifies their actions.

Social media is ablaze with reactions. X users like @JewishWarrior13 reported intense strikes across southern Lebanon, calling it one of the heaviest since November. Posts under #HezbollahStrikes highlight Lebanese anger with some accusing Israel of bypassing the ceasefire’s monitoring committee. The Lebanese army, tasked with replacing Hezbollah south of the Litani, struggles to assert control, as noted by BBC. Meanwhile, Israel’s retention of five military points in Lebanon has drawn criticism from French President Emmanuel Macron who called the strikes “unacceptable.”

The conflict’s roots trace back to Hezbollah’s 2023 rocket campaign which displaced 60,000 Israelis. Israel’s response, including a 2024 bombing campaign, killed over 4,000 in Lebanon and displaced 1.2 million, per Al Jazeera. The ceasefire aimed to restore calm but ongoing violations threaten to unravel it, with X users speculating about a broader regional war.
