Operations against the Iran-backed terrorist group continue as it seeks to rebuild its power.

Beirut claims Jerusalem’s security barrier crosses the Blue Line, a charge the Israel Defense Forces denies.
The 30 young volunteers arrived at Shlomo Peretz’s home, which had been hit by Hezbollah rockets, to help with restoration efforts.

The Israeli military told JNS the security barrier is fully within Israeli territory, despite unverified reports of extensions beyond the Blue Line into Southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah’s deputy leader said the ceasefire covers only Southern Lebanon and insists the Iranian-backed terrorist group will not disarm.
