Israeli army launches ‘extensive’ wave of airstrikes in Lebanon
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army said Wednesday it had carried out an “extensive” wave of airstrikes in Lebanon.
It, however, did not provide any further details.
The attacks came after a barrage of rockets from southern Lebanon on a military base in Safad in northern Israel killed one person and injured seven others.
Tension has flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel with intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.
The border tension comes amid an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 28,500 people since early October.
