Israeli army says it hit Hezbollah site in southern Lebanon
A military update claims the facility in the Beaufort Castle area had been used to “manage [the] fire and defence array” of the organisation.
“Terrorist activity was detected at the site in the Beaufort Castle area in southern Lebanon and weapons, military structures and underground infrastructure were attacked,” the statement said.
The Israeli media said the facility in question was also struck in May and June.
Israel continues to regularly bomb southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire signed with Hezbollah last November.
UNIFIL says Israeli army dropped grenades near peacekeepers, Lebanese forces
The UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon (UNIFIL) says the incident occurred yesterday near the municipality of Maroun al-Ras, near the Lebanese border with Israel.
UNIFIL said peacekeepers and Lebanese forces were providing security for civilian workers trying to clear the ruins of a home destroyed in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, when a grenade exploded near an excavator.
Working at two different sites, a first group of peacekeepers then “saw a drone fly overhead and witnessed an explosion about 30-40 metres [100-130ft] away”.
“About 20 minutes after that, the second group saw another drone drop a grenade that exploded just 20 metres [70ft] over their heads,” UNIFIL said, adding it had informed the Israeli military of the work before the time.
“Attacks on peacekeepers or interference with their mandated tasks show disregard for the safety and security of UNIFIL peacekeepers and the Lebanese army, and the stability they are working to restore in south Lebanon,” it said.

Yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dropped grenades near peacekeepers working alongside Lebanese soldiers to provide security for civilian workers in Maroun ar-Ras.
