Israeli warplanes attack southern Lebanon targets

Israeli Air Force jets attacked several sites in southern Lebanon that the military said were linked to the Hezbollah armed group.

“Terrorist structures” were attacked in the Taybeh, Odaisseh and al-Jebbayn areas, while a “military building” was hit in the Ayta ash Shab area, the Israeli military’s Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a post on social media.

The Israeli military also said that its air defences had “successfully intercepted a suspicious aerial target” over maritime space in northern Israel’s Ziv Bridge area.

Israeli air attack in Syria kills army officer

Israel’s military has carried out a series of air attacks on military sites in the Syrian provinces of Quneitra and Deraa, says Syria’s Defence Ministry in a post on Facebook. The attacks killed an army officer and caused some material damage, it added.

Since the Gaza war began, Israel has regularly carried out air strikes in Syria, often targeting members of Iran-backed groups. This year, such attacks have killed 171 fighters and 13 civilians, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Israeli air raid in southern Lebanon kills three

An Israeli air attack in the Lebanese border village of Yaroun has killed three people, reports Lebanon’s an-Nahar news site. It comes as tensions boil between Israel and Hezbollah, which earlier released drone footage of sensitive military sites deep in Israel.

Earlier, Israeli air force jets also targeted military sites in other parts of southern Lebanon, including in the areas of Taybeh, Odaisseh and al-Jebbayn, and Ayta ash Shab.
