Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out strikes this morning against Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, the military says.
According to the IDF, the targets in the village of Ramyeh included military buildings and other infrastructure belonging to the terror group.
It says Hezbollah “operates from the area of the village, which is used as a terror center for the group to observe and carry out terror acts.”
The IDF says Hezbollah has launched missiles at Israel from Ramyeh, while “exploiting the civilian population in the village area and using it as a human shield.”
Last night the IDF also hit Hezbollah positions in Aamra and Khiam, close to the Israeli border. One of the sites was used to fire an anti-tank missile at the Galilee on Saturday, the IDF says.
