The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted numerous activities and operations throughout Lebanon against Hezbollah between June 9 and June 15. The IDF’s operations this week were relatively mild compared to previous weeks. They were concentrated in south Lebanon, both north and south of the Litani River, and included several targeted killings. The pace of operations dropped precipitously after June 12, 2025, when Israel launched Operation Rising Lion in Iran.
The IDF conducted operations in 16 Lebanese locales during the week, some more than once. Fourteen areas were hit by airstrikes or other aerial activity, two were struck by mortar rounds, eight experienced ground actions, and flares were fired over one area.
