The Israel Defense Forces carried out a wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley area on Monday, targeting what it said were sites used by Hezbollah for rocket launches and the production and storage of strategic weapons, bringing the number of Hezbollah operatives killed in the past 24 hours up to three.
The military confirmed that it had carried out the strikes following reports in Lebanese media of a wave of Israeli air attacks across southern Lebanon. It was the latest round of Israeli attacks against Hezbollah targets in recent days, after the IDF warned last week that it would step up the scale of its operations if the Iran-backed terror group is not fully disarmed by the Lebanese military.
In southern Lebanon, the IDF said it had struck a site used by Hezbollah to launch rockets, after renewed activity by the terror group was detected there in recent months. In the Nabatieh area, the military said it struck several more Hezbollah targets, and in the Beqaa Valley, it said it targeted infrastructure at a site used by the terror group to store and manufacture strategic weapons. The site in the Beqaa Valley has been struck by the IDF several times in the past.
