The IDF confirms carrying out airstrikes deep in Lebanon a short while ago, saying it targeted Hezbollah facilities where activity by the terror group was identified.
The Hezbollah sites included rocket launchers and other weapons, according to the military.
“The activity of terror operatives at these sites is a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF says.
Lebanese media reported that the strikes were carried out near the village of Harbata, in the Beqaa Valley, some 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Israel.
