Ali al-Taher Ridge Sector: Is Hezbollah Attempting to Undermine the Ceasefire?

Throughout the day, two strikes were carried out against Hezbollah cells operating in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area in southern Lebanon and posing a threat to IDF forces. The two cells comprised a total of approximately seven Hezbollah operatives, all of whom were hit during the strikes.

Does Hezbollah, under Iranian direction, seek to undermine the ceasefire by deliberately creating friction with Israel in an effort to provoke an Israeli military response, erode the existing understandings, and increase international—particularly American—pressure for an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon?
