IDF strikes Hezbollah weapons, rocket launchers across southern Lebanon

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) carried out strikes across southern Lebanon on Friday evening, targeting military outposts belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization, the IDF said. The targeted outposts included warehouses storing weapons, as well as rocket launch sites. Hezbollah-affiliated outlet Al Mayadeen reported strikes were being carried out in the vicinity of Al-Aaishiyah. 

Lebanese media further reported that the attacks, consisting of at least 20-30 separate blasts, were the largest since Israel and Hezbollah signed a ceasefire agreement in November of last year. Al Mayadeen said the strikes were "a new violation of the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel." An IDF statement said that Hezbollah had violated the agreement because of the presence of the weapons and rocket launchers.

"The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will prevent any attempt of Hezbollah to reestablish and rebuild itself," the Israeli military said. Following the Israeli strikes, long lines were seen at gas stations in the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, Walla reported. (Ed note: see  Psalm 83:7. "...the inhabitants of Tyre.")   (Read More)
