BEIRUT: Israel launched a series of strikes on southern Lebanon on Tuesday, Lebanese state media reported, with the Israeli army saying it hit a Hezbollah training center and other targets.
Despite a November 2024 ceasefire that was supposed to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group, Israel has kept up strikes on Lebanon and maintains troops in five areas of the country’s south.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported “a series of (Israeli) raids targeting the Iqlim Al-Tuffah region” near the towns of Azza, Rumin and Jbaa, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of the border with Israel.
“A number of houses were damaged” in JBaa, the NNA added.
The Israeli military said it had struck “infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in several areas in southern Lebanon.”
