Wave of Israeli airstrikes targets Iqlim al-Tuffah heights, area between Ansar and al-Zrariyeh

A wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted the Iqlim al-Tuffah heights and the area between Ansar and al-Zrariyeh in south Lebanon on Thursday evening, with the Israeli army claiming that the strikes hit "Hezbollah military sites, including arms depots and a rocket launchpad."

The violent strikes, which have become frequent in recent months, came a day after U.S. envoy Tom Barrack departed Lebanon after a three-day visit in which he discussed the thorny issue of Hezbollah's disarmament amid Israel's continued occupation of five hills in south Lebanon and its daily assassinations against suspected Hezbollah operatives.

Earlier in the day, one person was killed in an Israeli drone strike on a pickup truck in the border town of Aita al-Shaab.

An Israeli drone also fired two missiles on a forest area in the outskirts of the southern town of Beit Leef, sparking a blaze.
