BEIRUT: Lebanese militant group Hezbollah said Tuesday it targeted several Israeli military bases and tanks in response to Israeli strikes on the group’s strongholds in Lebanon, including the south Beirut suburbs.
Israel continues to carry out successive air raids, particularly on Beirut’s southern suburbs and the south of the country, after issuing evacuation warnings to residents, while Lebanese authorities on Monday recorded the displacement of more than 58,000 people from areas hit by the strikes.
Israel announced Tuesday morning it had begun a new round of “simultaneous strikes in Tehran and Beirut.”
It announced later that day that it hit “approximately 60” targets “belonging to the Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist organizations.”
The Israeli military also said it had deployed troops to several locations in southern Lebanon in what it described as a “forward defense” measure along the border.
