On Friday, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry denounced the Israeli strikes targeting villages in the southern region of Lebanon. Over 15 rockets were launched toward the border villages of Kfarchouba and Mazraat Halta by Israeli forces on Thursday morning. 

Israel justified its actions as a response to the firing of two rockets from southern Lebanon, whose perpetrators remain unidentified. Additionally, over the weekend, Israeli forces took control of the Lebanese portion of Ghajar, exacerbating the already tense relations between the two nations.

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry demanded the "immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Israel from all Lebanese territories it still occupies."

Lebanese Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati appealed to the United Nations to intervene and halt the recent Israeli violations along the Blue Line.

Hezbollah, an armed group and political party based in Lebanon, urged the Lebanese government and its people to take action against Israeli transgressions in Ghajar.

Ghajar, a village with a majority Alawite population, is situated on the border between Lebanon and the Israel-occupied Golan Heights, intersected by the Blue Line. The village was effectively isolated from Lebanon when the Israeli military constructed a fence to its north, violating UN Resolution 1701.

With the exception of sporadic tensions in recent months, the border between Lebanon and Israel has generally experienced a period of relative calm following the month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.
