Israeli aircraft carried out extensive airstrikes in
southern Lebanon, the Israeli military announced on Monday, adding that the strikes
targeted sites belonging to Hezbollah.
In a statement, the Israeli military said strikes targeted
around 10 Hezbollah command centers and weapons depots in the Tyre area of
southern Lebanon, noting that “forces had struck more than 70 Hezbollah-linked
sites across different parts of Lebanon during the day.”
Local Lebanese sources reported that overnight strikes
targeted towns in the Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, Tyre and the western Bekaa Valley, killing
at least five people in the town of Mashghara.
The Israeli army’s Northern Command chief, Major General
Rafi Milo, stated earlier that military operations against Hezbollah would
intensify during the night and in the coming days.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also cited plans
to increase military pressure in Lebanon and carry out stronger strikes against
Hezbollah. “We will increase the scale of our strikes against
Hezbollah,” Netanyahu vowed, highlighting that Israel had formed a special team
to counter the threat posed by suicide drones.
