The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have said they carried out strikes on more than 150 military targets belonging to Hezbollah across Lebanese territory over the past 24 hours.
Operations were carried out in Tyre and Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, as well as in the Beqaa Valley, Caliber.Az reports, citing the IDF.
Earlier, the military announced the elimination of a Hezbollah fighter operating in southern Lebanon as part of the IDF’s forward defensive deployment.
It said, in a post on Telegram, that an Israeli Air Force aircraft detected a UAV in flight that was assessed as posing a threat to Israeli forces operating in the area.
The drone subsequently landed, after which a Hezbollah operative arrived to recover it.
The Israeli Air Force then carried out a rapid strike, killing the individual identified as a member of the Hezbollah group.
The IDF made it clear that its air force will continue operations aimed at protecting and supporting Israeli ground troops in southern Lebanon.
