Israel Strikes Hezbollah Targets North of Litani River

Israeli warplanes struck targets in southern Lebanon on Monday, hitting the outskirts of several villages, including Zrariyeh, Kfar Milki, and Ansar, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported. 

The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, saying they were aimed at Hezbollah military sites located north of the Litani River, in violation of long-standing U.N.-backed agreements intended to keep the area free of militant presence.

In a statement, the Israeli army said the targeted locations included “rocket launchers and weapons depots” operated by the militant group.

“The presence of weapons and Hezbollah’s activity constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the Israeli army said.
