In a brief statement, it was emphasized that the attacks are being carried out by the Israeli army and air force. "The IDF has been ordered to forcefully strike Hezbollah targets in Lebanon," Netanyahu said. This comes after Hezbollah launched rockets and drones at northern Israel and troops stationed in southern Lebanon today. The IDF also commented on the continuation of the attacks, stating that they have conducted multiple operations in southern Lebanon. "We have discovered weapons warehouses and destroyed Hezbollah infrastructure. Reserve soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade uncovered a stockpile of anti-tank missiles intended for use against Israeli soldiers and civilians in a Hezbollah weapons warehouse," they said. Although a ceasefire extension between Lebanon and Israel was agreed upon at the White House a few days ago for an additional three weeks, the new attacks jeopardize any potential agreement. Nevertheless, Trump also stated during this meeting that Israel retains the right to attack Lebanon, but solely in "self-defense." "Israel will have to defend itself if it is fired upon... but it will do so carefully and with surgical precision," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office after presiding over the second round of ambassador-level negotiations between Israel and Lebanon.
