The Israeli military asserted that Hezbollah has been embedding military infrastructure in civilian locales, therefore violating the terms of the cease-fire accord, which mandates Hezbollah's disarmament and Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon's southern territories. Despite the agreement, both Israel and Lebanon have accused each other of not honoring the deal completely.

In a pre-emptive move, the Israeli military advised residents from three specific Dahiya neighborhoods to evacuate, indicating potential targets via a social media map. In response, the Lebanese military attempted to inspect these locations and sought to engage with the U.S.-led monitoring committee that oversees the cease-fire's implementation, highlighting the fragile nature of regional peace efforts.
