Over the weekend, the Israeli Air Force struck some 20 Hezbollah targets in the southern suburbs of Beirut in eight separate waves, according to the IDF.

In southern Lebanon, the military says the IAF struck dozens of Hezbollah targets as part of support for ground troops, along with 12 rocket launchers primed for attacks on Israel. In Tyre, 10 Hezbollah targets were struck by fighter jets, the IDF says.

Additionally, 12 out of 13 drones launched at Israel over the weekend were intercepted by air defenses, the military adds.
