The IDF says it has killed dozens of Hezbollah operatives in strikes on over 80 targets in southern and eastern Lebanon since last night, after the terror group launched several attacks on troops.

The targets hit overnight in the Nabatieh area and other areas of southern Lebanon included Hezbollah command centers, rocket launchers, and other infrastructure, the army says. Additionally, a short while ago, two manned Hezbollah command centers in the Beqaa Valley were struck, according to the military.

“During the strikes, dozens of Hezbollah terrorists who were operating in those command centers were eliminated,” the military says.

The IDF says the strikes come in response to “repeated violations” of the ceasefire by Hezbollah.

Separately, overnight, Hezbollah fired several rockets at troops in southern Lebanon. The IDF says that it then struck and killed two Hezbollah operatives who fled the launch site on a motorcycle and also destroyed the launcher in a strike.
