IDF strikes Hezbollah sites, rocket launcher, posts in south Lebanon

A rocket launcher in southern Lebanon’s Tayr Harfa was struck by the Israeli Air Force shortly after it was used in an attack on the northern community of Shomera last night, the IDF says.

Another building in the area where the IDF says Hezbollah operatives were gathered was also hit.

Overnight, IAF fighter jets carried out a wave of strikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, following repeated attacks by the terror group on northern Israel.

The IDF says the targets included infrastructure in Markaba, a building in Ayta ash-Shab and an observation post in Marwahin.

Troops also shelled areas near Chihine and Kfarchouba with artillery to “remove threats,” the military adds.
