The Fajr Forces were active in launching rockets at Israel throughout the year-long conflict that ended with a ceasefire last year. During the fighting, several of their members were reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes.
Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces have continued to target fighters and weapons depots in Lebanon, particularly from the Hezbollah group. Additionally, Israel still controls certain positions in southern Lebanon, which has raised concerns among Lebanon, Hezbollah, and Jama’a Islamiya, who view these actions as violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty.
Israel defends its actions, claiming that the fighters and weapons pose a threat to its citizens.
