The European Union has strongly condemned recent Israeli military strikes in southern Lebanon, urging Israel to respect the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. The EU called for an immediate halt to actions that violate United Nations resolutions and the ceasefire established in November 2024. EU officials also appealed to all Lebanese parties, particularly Hezbollah, to avoid measures that could escalate tensions and to focus on maintaining the progress achieved through the ceasefire.

Israeli forces targeted and eliminated several Hezbollah-affiliated militants in southern Lebanon, citing their involvement in rebuilding military infrastructure in violation of previous agreements. Israeli defense officials have expressed concern over Hezbollah's rapid rearmament and reconstruction efforts in the region, warning of potential threats to stability. The situation remains tense, with international actors urging restraint and adherence to the ceasefire to prevent further escalation.
