• Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon targeted Hezbollah infrastructure after an evacuation warning.
• The strikes came shortly after Lebanon's military reported completion of the first disarmament phase of Hezbollah.
• Israeli officials deem Lebanon's efforts insufficient, emphasizing Hezbollah's ongoing rearmament.

The Israeli military executed multiple airstrikes in southern Lebanon on January 11, 2026, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure. This operation followed an evacuation warning issued by Israel and was reported by Lebanese state media, which noted that "enemy warplanes launched more than 10 raids" on the town of Kafr Hatta, resulting in "significant damage" to local structures, according to India Times, Al Jazeera, and Le Monde.

These military actions occurred shortly after the Lebanese army claimed to have completed the first phase of a nationwide initiative to disarm Hezbollah in areas south of the Litani River. However, the Israeli government criticized these measures as inadequate, asserting that their ceasefire agreement mandates the complete disarmament of Hezbollah, as highlighted by officials from India Times, Al Jazeera, and Le Monde.

Additionally, the Israeli army reiterated that its strikes were a response to "Hezbollah's continuous violations of the ceasefire understandings." This ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties since the ceasefire agreement was established in November 2024, with specific reference to the events from India Times and Al Jazeera.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported significant military activity across southern Lebanon, noting targeted strikes in other areas including Jezzine and Al-Dimasqiyeh. These operations underscore Israel's persistent military stance, as it maintains troop presence in five strategic locations across southern Lebanon, an assertion supported by Le Monde and India Times.
