BEIRUT 

Hezbollah said Monday that it had targeted the Roueissat Al-Alam Israeli military post in the occupied Kfar Shuba hills, describing the action as a “preliminary defensive warning” in response to ongoing Israeli violations of the cease-fire agreement.

In a statement, Hezbollah cited multiple breaches, including Israeli gunfire on civilians, airstrikes across Lebanon that have resulted in civilian casualties, and continued violations of Lebanese airspace, even over the capital Beirut.

The group said appeals to the relevant authorities had failed to halt these breaches, adding: “A warning has been given.”

According to Israeli Army Radio, Hezbollah fired two rockets toward the Har Dov area (Shebaa Farms), both of which landed in open fields without causing injuries.

Israeli Cabinet ministers and political leaders have called for a harsh response to Hezbollah’s attack.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on X to respond to the attack, saying: “As Hezbollah's firing at Mount Dov constitutes a serious violation of the cease-fire, and Israel will respond strongly to this.”

Also on X, far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called Hezbollah’s actions a “grave mistake” and urged a strong military response to “change the equation” and end what he described as an era of “containment.”

Benny Gantz, leader of the Israel Resilience Party, echoed Smotrich, warning that failure to respond decisively could lead to a return to “the era of equations.”

Transportation Minister Miri Regev echoed the sentiment, emphasizing Israel's commitment to strong retaliation for any violations of the cease-fire agreement.

“As decided in the Cabinet, Israel will respond strongly to any violation of the agreement by Hezbollah,” she wrote on X.
