IAF strikes Hezbollah RPG cell in Nabatieh hours after Lebanon framework signed
The Israeli Air Force struck and killed several Hezbollah operatives armed with RPGs operating close to IDF troops in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon, the first IDF strike since the trilateral framework was announced. The military said the cell 'posed an imminent threat' to Israeli forces and was eliminated together with the structure it was operating from. Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated that the framework imposes 'no restrictions' on the IDF's right to neutralize active threats in the security zone, while Hezbollah's continued armed posture vindicates Israel's insistence on conditional, not timetabled, withdrawal.
