Between June 1 and June 7, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted 436 airstrike waves across Lebanon. Operations were concentrated primarily in southern Lebanon and in areas both south and north of the Litani River:
•230 strikes south of the Litani River
•197 strikes north of the Litani River
•7 strikes in the Beqaa Valley
•1 strike in Beirut
•1 strike in the Mount Lebanon area
The overwhelming majority of strikes (429 out of 436) were conducted beyond the Yellow Line, while only 7 strikes were carried out within the Yellow Line.
The IDF continued to issue evacuation warnings to residents of southern Lebanon prior to conducting strikes, using various communication channels in an effort to minimize civilian casualties.
On June 3, the U.S. Department of State published a Statement of Principles as part of the direct negotiations between Israel and Lebanon.
At the same time, Israel reiterated that any Hezbollah attack against Israeli communities would result in strikes against Hezbollah assets in Beirut’s Dahieh district. After Hezbollah launched two rockets toward northern Israeli communities on June 7, the IDF struck a Hezbollah command center in Dahieh. Two Hezbollah operatives present at the site were killed. Following the strike, Iran intervened directly and carried out several waves of ballistic missile attacks against Israel, significantly escalating regional tensions.
