Hezbollah Reports Engagement with Israeli Forces at Kafr Tibnit Crossing

In a statement released on Monday, June 15, 2026, Hezbollah announced that it had engaged Israeli military forces in the vicinity of the Kafr Tibnit crossing, citing what it characterized as violations of a ceasefire agreement by Israeli forces.

According to the organization, armed resistance fighters responded to an Israeli military repositioning effort that occurred at 22:00 on Monday evening. The Israeli military had mobilized an armored unit consisting of five Merkava tanks and four additional vehicles in the area surrounding the crossing.

Hezbollah stated that its fighters targeted the Israeli contingent using rocket barrages and artillery fire. The organization indicated that armed confrontations were continuing at the time the statement was issued.

The group framed its actions as a defensive response to protect Lebanon and its population, invoking what it described as the legitimate right to resist occupation and liberate territory. Hezbollah also referenced an earlier statement, designated as statement number one, in connection with the ongoing situation.
