Israel struck over 100 terror targets in Lebanon yesterday and killed dozens of Hezbollah operatives from the air, the IDF says.

Among the targets was the launcher used in a rocket barrage that hit and killed a man in the town of Ma’alot Tarshiha, the military says.

It adds that ground forces from the 146th Division have located weapons and attacked dozens of terror targets, including military buildings and an anti-tank missile launching post.

Forces from the 91st Division have continued to blow up underground shafts, seize arms and take out terror operatives, locating anti-aircraft missiles and maps containing outlines for attacks targeting Israel. The IDF says troops found rocket launchers pointing toward northern Israeli towns that were placed “in the heart of civilian population.”

Turning to Gaza, the army says forces from the 162nd Division are continuing to operate in the northern city of Jabalia, taking out dozens of terror operatives in close-quarters combat or by directing airstrikes.
