BEIRUT: The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of air raids on Iqlim Al-Tuffah in southern Lebanon on Monday, as drones and reconnaissance aircraft violated Lebanese airspace over Beirut and its southern suburbs at low altitudes, reaching as far as the Bekaa Valley.
The strikes coincided with renewed US pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah.
Israeli aircraft targeted the outskirts of the towns of Jarmaq and Aishiyeh with eight raids in the Jezzine district.
An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed they had struck “terrorist sites” and Hezbollah infrastructure “being rebuilt across Lebanon in violation of existing understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
The spokesperson confirmed that “the Israeli Army will continue to work to eliminate any threat and protect the State of Israel.”
