The Israeli military stated on April 13 that it had struck approximately 150 Hezbollah targets in various areas of southern Lebanon within the past 24 hours. These targets included military facilities, anti-tank missile positions, and terrorist command centers. This escalation occurs as Lebanese and Israeli officials are set to meet in Washington on April 14 to discuss potential direct negotiations. Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem urged Lebanon to cancel the upcoming meeting, reiterating Hezbollah's long-standing opposition to direct talks with Israel. The Iran-backed Hezbollah group has been engaged in hostilities with Israel since March 2.
