Israel’s air force has conducted strikes in southern and eastern Lebanon, targeting infrastructure associated with Hezbollah and Hamas ahead of a significant disarmament meeting scheduled for Thursday. The strikes included a substantial attack on a commercial building in Sidon, though it was uninhabited, resulting in at least one injury. This military action follows a recent history of escalated tensions, beginning with the latest conflict initiated by Hezbollah’s support for Hamas in October 2023. The Lebanese government has initiated a disarmament process for Hezbollah by 2025, indicating a crucial shift in regional security dynamics and the potential for stabilizing the volatile border regions with Israel.
