JERUSALEM (VINnews) — The Israel Defense Forces carried out a major wave of strikes overnight on more than 100 Hezbollah targets across southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley, the IDF Spokesperson said.

The operation targeted weapons storage facilities, command centers, observation posts and other terrorist infrastructure used by Hezbollah to plan and launch attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, according to the military.

In the Beqaa Valley, several strikes hit a site in the Mashghara area where terrorist activity was identified, eliminating a number of Hezbollah operatives, the IDF said. Additional targets in the region included a weapons manufacturing and storage facility.1b023d

The strikes come amid ongoing cross-border tensions, as Israel continues efforts to degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities following months of conflict.

No immediate comment was available from Hezbollah or Lebanese officials. Lebanese reports often describe such Israeli operations as causing civilian casualties, though the IDF maintains it targets only terrorist infrastructure.
