Israeli army attacks Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israeli warplanes carried out overnight raids on several targets of the Hezbollah group in southern Lebanon, the Israeli army said on Wednesday.
In a statement, the Israeli army said it attacked a building in the Majdal Selm area, claiming that several Hezbollah members were inside.
The statement added that the Israeli fighter jets hit more buildings of Hezbollah in the towns of Odaisseh, Markaba, Blida, Maroun al-Ras, and Chihine.
It added that the Israeli artillery struck several areas across southern Lebanon, without providing further details.
The Hezbollah group is yet to comment on the Israeli military statement.
On Tuesday, at least nine people, including a child, were killed in explosions of pager communication devices across Lebanon, according to Lebanese Health Minister Firas Al-Abiad.
Hezbollah confirmed that at least two members were killed and many injured in the explosions and held Israel fully responsible for the incident, vowing “just retaliation from unexpected quarters”.
The explosions occurred as exchange of cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israel continues against the backdrop of Israel’s war on Gaza.
