Israel intercepts 2 projectiles from Lebanon

The Israeli military said it intercepted two projectiles that crossed into ​Israeli territory from Lebanon on ‌Sunday, after sirens sounded in the areas of Yiftah and Ramot Naftali.

Clashes between Israel and ​Hezbollah have not halted with ​the Lebanese militant group rejecting proposals linking ⁠a ceasefire to its disarmament, saying ​Israel must first halt its attacks ​and withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon.

Iran has made a ceasefire in Lebanon between its close ​ally, Hezbollah, and Israel a condition for ​any peace deal with the United States.

Hezbollah entered the ‌war ⁠on March 2, saying it was retaliating for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader at the start of a ​conflict that ​has since ⁠killed thousands in Lebanon and displaced more than a million ​people.

Israel continued to carry out ​strikes ⁠in Lebanon even before March 2, despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that took effect ⁠in ​November 2024. It said ​its attacks are aimed at Hezbollah members and infrastructure.
