Israeli army says it hit Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon
Hezbollah confirms airstrikes on Lebanese soil
By Anadolu staff
The Israeli army on Saturday claimed attacking sites belonging to the Lebanese group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
In a statement, the army said that fighter jets attacked an extensive military compound of Hezbollah in the Al-Rehan area in southern Lebanon.
It added that the area includes several military buildings and a military post.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese group confirmed the Israeli attack.
“Hostile warplanes launched a series of airstrikes with missiles targeting the Aaramta and Al-Rehan Heights in southern Lebanon,” it said in a statement, without providing further details.
Tensions have escalated along Lebanon’s border with Israel since the Israeli army launched a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, amid an exchange of cross-border fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.
