Israel strikes southern Lebanon despite US-brokered framework agreement

Israel has conducted major strikes on Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in southern Lebanon, particularly targeting the Ali al-Taher ridge area, resulting in significant explosions and seismic events. These operations, described by Israel as completing a security zone and neutralizing tunnel networks, mark a significant escalation despite a US-brokered framework agreement. The full extent of damage to Hezbollah's operational capacity and potential for broader regional retaliation remains unclear.
