Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that he had instructed the Israeli military to intensify strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began launching a wave of strikes on Hezbollah targets across Lebanon on Monday, targeting weapon storage facilities and other infrastructure used by the Iran-backed group.

“We are at war with ​Hezbollah, and we will intensify our strikes,” Netanyahu said in a video message posted on Telegram.

The Israeli military and terrorist group Hezbollah have ‌continued to trade blows despite an April 16 truce. Iran has demanded a halt to Israeli attacks in Lebanon as a condition in peace talks with the United States.

Netanyahu wrote in a post on X on Sunday that he spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump and they agreed that Israel must retain its “right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.”
