The Israel Defense Forces confirms that it targeted infrastructure used by the Hamas and Hezbollah terror groups in strikes across Lebanon yesterday.

The IDF says the sites were in civilian areas and were an example of the terror groups using the population as human shields. Israel issued evacuation warnings prior to the strikes.

The military says it hit Hezbollah weapons depots and military sites, both above and below ground, and Hamas weapons production sites in southern Lebanon.

The IDF notes that the activities of the terror groups are in violation of the ceasefire.

Israel has been ramping up its military operations in Lebanon in recent weeks, amid reports of a possible wide-scale offensive targeting Hezbollah.
