Israel launches air strikes on multiple areas across Lebanon
The Israeli army has launched a series of air strikes on areas across Lebanon, according to local media and footage circulating online.
The country’s state-run National News Agency reported that Israeli warplanes launched at least three attacks targeting the outskirts of the town of Bodai, located in eastern Lebanon’s Baalbek.
Another three strikes were reported on the outskirts of the towns of Arzi and Burj Rahal, northeast of Tyre in southern Lebanon.
The area of Kfar Melki in southern Lebanon’s Sidon was targeted, as were two towns on the banks of the Litani River and several towns in the mountainous Iqlim al-Tuffah region.

Israeli military says Hezbollah sites struck in Lebanon
Israeli forces say they have carried out military strikes on several Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon as well as the eastern Bekaa region. In a statement, the military said the strikes were directed at infrastructure used for “storing and producing strategic weapons” and a “rocket launch site”.
Since a November 27 ceasefire formally ended more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, Israel has continued sporadic strikes on Lebanon. It says the group’s activities run counter to the agreement, but does not provide evidence to back its claims.
‘No stability without Israel’s complete withdrawal from Lebanon’: PM
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam earlier today made a visit to the eastern region of Bekaa, which was bombed by the Israeli military tonight.
“I have repeatedly stated that there is no stability in the country without Israel’s complete withdrawal from Lebanon and the cessation of its aggressive actions,” he wrote in a post on X, adding that weapons must be confined to the state alone for Lebanese people to feel safe.
Salam said the country also needs safety nets to protect its citizens and “balanced development across the homeland”.
This comes as the prime minister, along with President Joseph Aoun and parliament speaker Nabih Berri, are expected to meet with US envoy Tom Barrack in Beirut to discuss the future of Lebanon.
