Israel carried out air strikes on southern Lebanon on Saturday. After this, tension on the border increased due to rocket fired in northern Israel. Government news agency (NNA) said that these attacks took place in villages located near Tolin, Kefeer Melky, Mleeta and Wadi Al-Hujer Valley of Lebanon.

The army also said, "To maintain security and stability" Military units have been deployed in the southern Lebanon.
This incident took place despite a ceasefire between Israeli and Lebanese armed group Hizbullah. This ceasefire came into effect from November 27, 2023 and ended the enmity associated with the Gaza struggle. However, differences over the return of Israel from the disputed Lebanese region still remains, and the Lebanese officials say that the Israeli army has occupied five border posts even after the deadline of 18 February.
The Israeli army issued a statement after air strikes and said, "We attacked Hizbullah’s infrastructure, which works from civilian areas and is a Iran -backed group." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Catz of this attack "Tight answer" Vowed to give and Catz insisted, said, "The Lebanese government is responsible for all the invasions arising from its land."
In Lebanon, the United Nations Interim Force (UNIAFIL) called for restraint and warned that further action could reduce diplomatic benefits. The incident of rocket fired on Saturday was the first such incident from Lebanon since the beginning of December. Both Israel and Hizbullah have blamed each other for violation of the ceasefire, and this ceasefire remains technically, but the sporadic clashes and unresolved border remains tense due to controversies.
