Report: Hezbollah members killed in 'bunker buster' raid on 'huge' facilities
Thursday’s Israeli airstrikes on the heights of the Nabatieh region killed an unspecified number of Hezbollah members, a Lebanese security source told Sky News Arabia, after the Health Ministry said the raid killed one person and wounded eight others.
“Israel used bunker buster missiles in its strikes on Hezbollah’s facilities,” the source said.
“Huge Hezbollah facilities were destroyed by the Israeli strikes,” the source added.
The Israeli army said the raid targeted a "strategic" Hezbollah underground project that allegedly contained militants, weapons and wells.
Israel has continued to launch regular strikes in Lebanon despite the November 27 truce which sought to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah including two months of full-blown war.
Lebanon says it has respected its ceasefire commitments and has called on the international community to pressure Israel to end its attacks and withdraw all its troops.
