Israel's latest airstrike on what it called a Hezbollah missile storage facility in Beirut's southern suburbs came during increasing pressure for the Lebanese militant group to disarm.

The disarmament of what has been the region's most powerful non-state armed group has come to look increasingly inevitable. Hezbollah is severely weakened after a war with Israel in which much of its top leadership was killed, and after losing a key ally with the fall of former Syrian President Bashar Assad, a conduit for Iran to send arms.

Israel’s military said it has struck more than 50 "terror targets" across Lebanon over the past month, despite a November ceasefire that ended a war between Israel and Hezbollah militants.

"Over the past month, the IDF (military) has struck more than 50 terror targets across Lebanon. These strikes were carried out following violations of the ceasefire and understandings between Israel and Lebanon, which posed a threat to the State of Israel and its citizens", the military said Monday in a statement.

Hezbollah's leader Sehikh Naim Qassem has called on the government to work harder to end Israel's attacks in the country a day after an Israeli airstrike hit a suburb of Beirut.

Qassem said in a televised speech Monday that Hezbollah implemented the ceasefire deal that ended the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war in late November. But despite that, Israel is continuing with near-daily airstrikes.

An Israeli drone strike targeted an open area near a gas station in the southern town of Aitaroun on Monday, causing no casualties, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The head of the U.S.-led ceasefire monitoring committee, U.S. general Jasper Jeffers, will return Wednesday to Lebanon to meet with President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Asharq al-Awsat newspaper said.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri told his visitors that Israel’s airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday was aimed at “obstructing the Iranian-U.S. negotiations.”

Interior Minister Ahmad al-Hajjar revealed Monday that “there are diplomatic contacts with the ceasefire monitoring committee in order to secure holding the municipal elections in a proper manner.”

The United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, appealed to all sides to halt any actions that could further undermine the ceasefire, after an Israeli airstrike targeted a hangar in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Limiting weapons to the hand of the Lebanese state is “a decision that has been taken and it is unacceptable to return to the rhetoric of war,” President Joseph Aoun reiterated on Monday.

Israel said it targeted a Hezbollah store of "precision-guided missiles" in a southern Beirut suburbs air strike on Sunday that prompted President Joseph Aoun to call for French and U.S. intervention.

"Under the instruction of Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, the (military) has strongly attacked infrastructure in Beirut where Hezbollah's precision-guided missiles were stored," a statement from Netanyahu's office said.
