Israeli strike targets Lebanese town outskirts near Syria border

Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike overnight on the al-Shaara outskirts, east of the Lebanese town of Janta on the Lebanese-Syrian border, media reports said.

The same area was targeted by an Israeli air strike last Tuesday, which resulted in the killing of two people and the wounding of two others.

Israel's army said back then that it "struck Hezbollah terrorists" who "were identified operating within a Hezbollah production and storage facility for strategic weapons."

Hezbollah and Israel fought a war last year that ended in a late November ceasefire.

Hezbollah was left weakened by a year of hostilities, including two months of all-out war, in which its leadership was decimated.

Under the November 27 truce agreement, Israeli forces were to withdraw from southern Lebanon while Hezbollah was to remove its military infrastructure from the area. Israeli troops remain in five points deemed "strategic" by the Israeli military.

Israel has carried out dozens of strikes inside Lebanon since November 27 as both sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.
