In recent weeks, and despite the ceasefire, Hezbollah launched five drones at Israel, four of which penetrated Israeli airspace.
The IDF chose to report only one incident to the public, Army Radio reported on Monday morning.
According to assessments, the drones were all reconnaissance drones but it remains unclear why the IDF refrained from reporting the violations of the ceasefire to the public.
“Tomorrow the IDF will withdraw from Lebanon – but the residents of the north are still living under the threat of Hezbollah’s drones hovering above them – and the IDF is refraining from telling them about it,” the report said.
Kan News reported on Monday morning that ahead of the scheduled IDF withdrawal from Lebanon on Tuesday, Israel has increased strikes against Hezbollah targets, including targets deep within Lebanon.
Overnight, the Israeli Air Force attacked Hezbollah military sites in Beqaa Valley in response to ceasefire violations. The attack coincided with the televised speech of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Nasrallah Qassem.
The IDF stated that the attack was carried out based on precise intelligence, targeting several military sites where Hezbollah activity was identified and contained rocket launchers and weaponry.
“The activity of terrorist operatives at these sites constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF spokesperson said. “The IDF continues to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel.”

Rebbitzen, the nation needs to heal. They can’t deal with unnecessary additional trauma if it’s not vital. My whole family lives there and I’m hearing of their worries, fears and concerns; their children awakening at night imagining that they heard a siren and thus they need to hide in their Miklat. If you were really a rebbitzen, you would care.
Yaapchik, ignorance is bliss. What you don’t know, can’t hurt you. Close your eyes and your troubles are gone.
Wise decision not to divulge that information. It isn’t really that important of an event which would only serve to further frighten the nation and the nation now needs to heal.
