Lebanon
5 January 2024

An Israeli military spokesperson reported that IDF fighter jets targeted “Hizbollah terrorist infrastructure”, adding: “Several rockets were fired into Israeli territory. The rockets were either intercepted or fell in open areas”. The same day, Prime Minister Netanyahu told a senior U.S. official that “Israel is committed to bringing about a fundamental change on its border with Lebanon, so that the residents of the north will return to their homes and live in safety and with security… We will not stop until this goal has been achieved, whether diplomatically, which Israel prefers, or in some other way”.
