In parallel with the resumption of operations in the Gaza Strip, which shattered the fragile truce signed with Hamas on January 19, Israel is pursuing a war of attrition on its northern borders against Hezbollah, an ally in Lebanon of the Palestinian Islamist movement, as well as against the new Syrian government, which it has described as a "threat to the State of Israel." Having become the target of regular bombings by the Israeli air force, Lebanon and Syria suffered new deadly strikes on Monday, March 17.

Despite the truce agreement signed with Lebanon on November 27, 2024, which put an end to more than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, the Israeli army has been carrying out almost daily strikes against the Shiite party's positions. The aim is to prevent Hezbollah, which opened a front against Israel in support of Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023, from rebuilding its military arsenal and redeploying to southern Lebanon.

On Monday, one person was killed and three others wounded in an "Israeli enemy raid" in Yohmor, southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Ministry of Health said. The Israeli army said it had carried out a strike on two Hezbollah members "who were serving as spotters and directing terrorist activities" in the area.
