Hezbollah released a statement saying it acted to defend Lebanon and its people against what it called an Israeli ceasefire violation. The group claimed that at 18:15 on Monday, June 15, 2026, Israeli forces comprising a bulldozer and two Merkava tanks were moving from Hamat Arnon toward a checkpoint near the border outskirts of Kafr Tannin. Hezbollah said its fighters used anti-tank guided missiles and Ababil-1000 guided drones to strike the convoy, forcing it to retreat.
