Israeli forces target Hezbollah site in southern Lebanon: Army
“A naval vessel attacked overnight a military structure belonging to the ‘Radwan Force’ of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Naqoura area in southern Lebanon,” Israel’s military has said in a statement.
The site was used by Hezbollah “to promote terrorist plots against the citizens of the State of Israel”, it said. The strike comes after “an investigation into a Hezbollah member several weeks ago”.
The Lebanese armed group has so far not responded to Israel’s allegation. Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire in November, but Israel has continued near-daily strikes on Lebanon, including in the capital, Beirut.
