Hezbollah has announced it detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) against an Israeli Defense Forces unit accompanied by four Merkava tanks in the southern Lebanese area of Majdal Zoun. The attack occurred at 23:20 on April 15, just 40 minutes before a U.S.-brokered 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was scheduled to take effect. This strike represents one of the final military actions reported by the group ahead of the truce.
