Israel claims overnight hits on Hezbollah sites
The Israeli military says it deployed air strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure throughout southern Lebanon, including in the areas of Tayr Harfa, Markaba, Aita al-Shaab, and Marwahin.
The attacks hit a launch site that Hezbollah used to fire rockets at Israel yesterday, said the military, while also hitting several military compounds and an observation post.

Wave of Israeli air raids hammers southern Lebanon
The Israeli military has carried out more than a dozen simultaneous air attacks on southern Lebanese towns, reports Lebanon’s An-Nahar media. The strikes have taken place near the southern towns of Ayta ash Shab, Ramyah, Jabal Blat, and Khallet Warde.
The reported attacks come after an Israeli military statement said its forces were in the process of striking Hezbollah targets. Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr, reporting from Marjayoun in southern Lebanon, said the strikes were part of a “pattern of sporadic escalation” along the border.
