Israeli operations in Lebanon against Hezbollah: September 22–28, 2025

By David Daoud | September 29, 2025 | @DavidADaoud

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted multiple operations throughout Lebanon against Hezbollah between September 22 and September 28, 2025. Activities last week were significantly lower than any previous week, perhaps the least intense since the onset of the official ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel on November 27, 2024.

The diminished intensity of Israel’s strikes likely owes to Lebanon marshaling American pressure over the September 21 strike in Bint Jbeil that killed five individuals—including three children and their father—with Lebanese officials making unverified claims that some of the deceased were US citizens.

This past week, the Israelis did not conduct any targeted killings of Hezbollah members or other militants in Lebanon but did strike the organization’s infrastructure and weapons storage facilities.

The IDF conducted operations in 10 Lebanese locales, some of them more than once, including:

Two airstrikes
Two ground activities
One leaflet drop
Two incidents of tank fire
Six quadcopter activities (dropping stun explosives/objects)
