The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on November 6th, 2025, against three individuals for allegedly facilitating the transfer of tens of millions of dollars from Iran to Hezbollah in 2025, utilizing exchange houses in Lebanon's cash-based financial sector. This action coincides with heightened fears of escalation in northern Israel, with residents expressing concern about a potential new campaign. Israeli forces conducted strikes overnight on infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah's construction unit in the Tzur area, used for manufacturing equipment for infrastructure restoration, resulting in the deaths of several operatives. Additionally, four combat depots of the Radwan force in southern Lebanon were attacked, which the IDF stated were located within civilian populations, highlighting Hezbollah's alleged exploitation of Lebanese citizens. These actions are part of ongoing Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon. The sanctioned individuals are Ossama Jaber, Ja’far Muhammad Qasir, and Samer Kasbar. The U.S. Treasury stated these transfers were facilitated to support Hezbollah's activities. Meanwhile, in Israel, preparations are underway for a potential Hezbollah response, leading to anxieties in the north about the consequences of further conflict. Earlier on November 6th, Israeli aircraft attacked the village of Zawtar Sharqiya in southern Lebanon, following evacuation warnings. This strike occurred within a 30-minute window ending at 3:46 PM UTC. Previous reports from earlier on November 6th detailed Israeli aircraft attacks on buildings in Taybeh and A-Tiba, and raids in Aita al-Jabal and Tairdaba, following IDF evacuation warnings aimed at countering Hezbollah's rebuilding efforts in the region.
