The Israeli military on Thursday said its warplanes fired on southern Lebanon after detecting Hezbollah activity at a rocket storage facility, the first Israeli airstrike a day after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took hold.

The Israel Defense Forces continued its intense airstrike and ground campaigns in Gaza and in Lebanon, with Israeli attacks on targets nationwide including in the capital Beirut. The strikes continue despite a cease-fire push fronted by President Joe Biden's White House as it prepares to hand power to President-elect Donald Trump.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Thursday that it carried out airstrikes on a Hezbollah facility where the militant group stores mid-range rockets in southern Lebanon after both sides accused each other of breaching the ceasefire that aims to halt over a year of fighting.
