Lebanon’s military said Wednesday an Israeli military force breached the border, reaching 400 meters (about a quarter of a mile) into Lebanese territory before withdrawing.

“An Israeli enemy force breached the Blue Line by approximately 400 meters into Lebanese territory in the areas of Khirbet Yaroun and the Aadeyseh, then withdrew after a short period,” the army said.

The Blue Line is a reference to the demarcation border area that separates Israel and Lebanon.

CNN has reached out to the Israel Defense Forces for comment.

The IDF also released a photo of its troops inside Lebanon that CNN has geolocated to be inside southern Lebanon.

As Israeli strikes resume, there are no guarantees for people in Beirut​

Middle East correspondent, BBC World Service, in Beirut

The air strikes on Beirut this morning came less than 24 hours after Lebanese prime minister Najib Mikati told Al Jazeera that the US had given "some kind of a guarantee" that Israel would de-escalate in Beirut and its suburbs.

But in the same hour the interview was being broadcast, here in Beirut, Israeli surveillance drones were flying low across the city, and Israeli jets caused sonic booms that sounded like actual explosions.

There had been days of anonymous quotes from US, Israeli and Lebanese officials regarding "a guarantee to stop attacks on Beirut and its southern suburbs".

Even Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the pause after talking to US President Joe Biden. Although this was denied by Netanyahu himself, some Israeli channels quoted unknown officials that such agreement was in place.

As we reported earlier, Israel says its air force targeted an underground Hezbollah weapons site.

Whatever the target was, the strikes sent a message that there is no guarantee that Beirut and its southern suburb will be excluded from Israeli attacks.

People in Beirut are back to square one - with PM Mikati’s words vanishing in the air.

Hezbollah launches rocket barrages towards Israel​

From CNN's Jessie Yeung

Hezbollah said it sent “barrages” of rockets into several areas of northern Israel overnight, while the Israeli military said it had identified dozens of projectiles launched from Lebanon.

About 50 “projectiles” were identified crossing into Israeli territory, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

“Some of the projectiles were intercepted and fallen projectiles were identified in the area,” the IDF said.

The IDF did not report any injuries. The extent of the damage is unclear.

The attack comes a day after Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem called on Israelis to accept a ceasefire in Lebanon or face “pain” as the group changes its strategy to strike harder and deeper into Israel.

Israel is opposed to a “unilateral ceasefire” in its war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

An Israeli strike on south Lebanon killed one person on Sunday, the health ministry reported, as Israel’s military said it struck Hezbollah targets.

Israel has kept up regular strikes in Lebanon despite the November 2024 truce that sought to end more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, usually saying it is targeting members of the Iran-backed group or its infrastructure.

In a statement, the ministry said ‘an Israeli enemy raid’ near Khirbet Selm, south Lebanon, killed one person and wounded another in a preliminary toll.

The Israeli army said it struck a Hezbollah ‘weapons manufacturing site’ in the south where it ‘identified the terrorist activity of Hezbollah operatives’.

The army said it also struck ‘military infrastructure sites belonging to Hezbollah’ in the eastern Bekaa area.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the strike on the south targeted a hangar, while the attacks on the east hit mountains near the town of Nabi Sheet.

On Wednesday, Israel struck four crossings along the Syria-Lebanon border, alleging they were used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons.

Lebanon’s army said this month it had completed the first phase of its plan to disarm Hezbollah, covering the area south of the Litani river, around 30 kilometres from the Israeli border.

Israel, which accuses Hezbollah of rearming, has criticised the army’s progress as insufficient, while Hezbollah has rejected calls to surrender its weapons.

More than 350 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since the ceasefire, according to an AFP tally of health ministry reports.​
