In a statement released early on Thursday, Hezbollah’s Military Media said the group’s Islamic Resistance fighters fired a salvo of rockets targeting the Israeli settlement of Menara.
“In defense of Lebanon and its people, and in direct response to the enemy’s violation of the ceasefire agreement—after the resistance fully adhered to its terms while the enemy persistently failed to do so—the Mujahideen (fighters) of the Islamic Resistance targeted the Menara settlement with a rocket barrage at 02:30 AM on Thursday, April 9, 2026,” the first statement on Thursday read.
“This response will continue unabated until the Israeli-American aggression against our country and our people comes to an end,” Thursday’s first statement added.
Later at 08:42, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted a Namera vehicle in the town of Taybeh with a guided missile, scoring a direct hit, second statement released on Thursday mentioned.
Also in the border town of Tyabe, which was venue for epic clashes and ambush, the Islamic Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli force positioned inside a house with an attack drone, achieving a direct hit at 08:45 on Thursday, according to a third statement.

Pakistan announced on Wednesday a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States. Islamabad as well as Tehran insisted that Lebanon is included in the temporary ceasefire.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose occupation entity has been dealt several blows by both the Islamic Republic and Lebanon resistance reneged on the agreement. The occupation army described the wave of raids as the most violent since the war on Lebanon started on March 2, with 100 air strikes carried out in ten minutes.
