Israeli Aircraft Strike Hezbollah-Linked Sites in Southern Lebanon

Israeli aircraft carried out a series of strikes on mountainous areas in southern Lebanon, targeting sites linked to Hezbollah, according to reports.

The strikes hit underground shelters, command posts and depots in the areas of Jebel al-Rafi, Rayhan and Sajoud, which are located on high ground in the south of the country.

Israel has previously said its operations in Lebanon are aimed at degrading Hezbollah's military infrastructure, while Lebanese authorities and Hezbollah have periodically condemned such strikes as violations of Lebanese sovereignty.

The latest action adds to a pattern of continued military activity along the Israel-Lebanon border area, which has remained tense following past rounds of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

There was no immediate word on casualties or the full extent of damage from the strikes, and further details were expected to emerge as local and international sources assess the aftermath.
