Overnight Israeli airstrikes target Bekaa and South
Israeli airstrikes overnight targeted “a Hezbollah strategic weapons production and storage facility in the Bekaa area in Lebanon,” the Israeli army said, as Lebanon’s National News Agency said the strikes hit the mountainous al-Shaara area on the Lebanese-Syrian border.
The Israeli army said the strikes came after it “identified Hezbollah attempts to reestablish presence and operations within the facility.”
It added that it “additionally struck infrastructure sites in the area of Srifa” in south Lebanon.
“These Hezbollah activities and the presence of weapons in these areas constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the Israeli army said, adding that it “will continue to operate to remove any threat” to Israel and “will prevent any attempt by Hezbollah to reestablish its capabilities.”
