Israel launches waves of strikes against Hezbollah targets in northeast Lebanon

The Israeli Air Force has launched a wave of strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley, the IDF announces.

The IDF says the targets include military facilities belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, where operatives and weapon depots were detected.

“The military camps that were targeted are used by the Hezbollah terror organization for training and preparing terrorists for the planning and execution of terror operations against IDF forces and the State of Israel,” the military says in a statement.

The weapons stored at the sites and Hezbollah’s activity “constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and pose a future threat to the State of Israel,” the statement adds.

Hezbollah’s Radwan force was tasked with invading Israel, and the IDF says the elite unit had advanced the terror group’s “Conquer the Galilee” plan for years, until last year’s war.
