On the Lebanon front, Israel on Saturday (April 25) launched fresh airstrikes on Khiam and Yohmor al-Sharif, signalling a renewed escalation amidst an ongoing ceasefire. The Israel Defence Forces carried out new attacks in southern Lebanon with two air raids. On Friday (April 24), the Israeli forces and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah exchanged fire, just a day after the US announced the extension of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire.
