Hezbollah infrastructures, including tunnel shafts and rocket launching sites, were targeted in a wave of Israeli airstrikes across southern Lebanon this morning, the IDF says.
According to the military, Hezbollah was recently working to restore its military capabilities at the targeted sites in order to advance attacks on Israel.
“This activity constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and a threat to the State of Israel,” the IDF says.
