In the Bekaa region, close to Syria’s border, “Israeli warplanes launched a series of violent strikes on the eastern mountain range,” according to the NNA.
The Hermel range in the country’s northeast was also the target of two Israeli strikes, according to the report.
The Israeli military claimed to have attacked sites in east and north Lebanon that are linked to the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including a “military camp and a site for the production of precision missiles” in the Bekaa Valley.
The military claimed in a statement that it had “struck several terrorist targets” in the area, including a “camp used for training Hezbollah militants.”
Later, it revealed that it had also “attacked a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the Nabatieh region.” Hezbollah did not respond right away.
Despite the truce calling for a full withdrawal earlier this year, Israel has continued to launch nearly daily assaults on Lebanese territory, particularly in the south, and to maintain a military presence at five border crossings.
Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel in what it claimed was solidarity with the people of Gaza after Israel declared war on the besieged Palestinian territory in October 2023.
More than 4, 000 people had already died and almost 17, 000 had been injured by the ceasefire, which was reached in November of the following year.
Lebanon’s conflict with a plan being pursued by the United States and Israel to disarm Hezbollah, a strategy that the organization and its allies oppose, is putting pressure on the fragile truce even more.
