Overnight Israeli strikes target West Bekaa and South

W460

Israeli airstrikes overnight targeted three areas in West Bekaa and the outskirts of Deir Mimas in the South.

The Israeli military said it "struck Hezbollah military sites in which Hezbollah terrorists and weapons were identified."

The November 27 truce largely halted the fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, which included two months of open war during which Israel sent in ground troops.

But Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Lebanese territory since the agreement took effect.

Under the agreement, Israel had been expected to withdraw from Lebanon by February 18 after missing a January deadline, but it has kept troops at five locations it deems "strategic".

The ceasefire also required Hezbollah to pull back north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers from the border, and to dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.
