The Israeli army claimed on Saturday that it had attacked more than 70 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon over the past 24 hours.
In a statement, the army reported: “During the last 24 hours, the Air Force struck over 70 Hezbollah targets, some of which were directed by the Northern Command.”
The army claimed that the targets included “anti-tank missile launch sites, military buildings, ammunition depots, and military headquarters.”
On clashes in southern Lebanon, the Israeli army stated that its soldiers had eliminated several Hezbollah members who were allegedly launching rockets at Israeli forces.
A fighter jet also reportedly attacked a building containing Hezbollah fighters armed with a significant cache of weapons.
Hezbollah has not responded to the Israeli army's claims. However, the group has been engaged in fierce battles against Israeli troops in southern Lebanon, with reports indicating that 10 Hezbollah fighters, including several officers, were killed on Friday.
Israel has mounted a huge air campaign in Lebanon since last month against what it claims are Hezbollah targets, in an escalation from a year of cross-border warfare between Israel and Hezbollah since the start of Israel’s brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip.
