An Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon a short while ago targeted a group of Hezbollah operatives at a weapons manufacturing site, the IDF says.
The military says that it had recently detected activity by Hezbollah operatives at the building, in the southern Lebanese village of Bir el-Sanasel, next to Kherbet Selem, which it says was used by the terror group to manufacture arms.
According to Lebanese media reports, the strike caused several injuries.

In a separate strike in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley, the IDF says it struck other Hezbollah military infrastructure. Lebanese media reports that the strike hit the outskirts of the village of Nabi Chit, just south of Baalbek.
“The activity of Hezbollah terrorists at these sites constitutes a violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a threat to the State of Israel,” the IDF adds.
