The IDF confirms carrying out several strikes in Lebanon in the past day, following what it says were Hezbollah actions “that posed a threat to the State of Israel and violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
The military says it struck several military vehicles operating at a Hezbollah missile manufacturing facility in the Beqaa Valley, and additional vehicles at several sites on the Lebanon-Syria border in the Hermel District, which were used by Hezbollah to transport weapons.
The Lebanese army said earlier that one of the strikes targeted a military bulldozer while it was carrying out fortification work inside the Al-Abbara military base near Lebanon’s border with Syria, wounding one soldier.
The IDF says that the incident is under investigation.
Additionally, the military says it carried out strikes against several Hezbollah operatives in southern Lebanon today.
“The IDF is deployed in southern Lebanon and acts against any threat that endangers the State of Israel,” the army adds.
