The Israeli army says it has carried out strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon. The military said the operation followed an earlier attack involving two explosive drones.
According to the Israeli army, the drones targeted Israeli soldiers. The military described the incident as a serious security threat and said its forces responded by striking sites linked to Hezbollah.
Israeli officials said the strikes focused on weapon storage facilities. The army claimed Hezbollah had established the locations to support attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Strikes target weapons facilities
The Israeli military did not provide details about the number of facilities hit during the operation. It also did not immediately give information about possible casualties or the extent of the damage caused by the strikes.
The army said the targeted infrastructure formed part of Hezbollah’s military network in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces have repeatedly warned that they will act against what they describe as threats emerging from the area.
Southern Lebanon has remained a sensitive area amid continuing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. The region has witnessed repeated military activity and exchanges of fire, raising concerns about further escalation.
The latest incident began with what Israel described as a Hezbollah drone attack. Israeli officials said two explosive drones were launched toward their soldiers. The army then carried out strikes against locations it identified as connected to Hezbollah.
Tensions remain high in southern Lebanon
The Israeli army has continued to monitor Hezbollah activity along the border and has regularly accused the group of maintaining military infrastructure in populated and strategic areas.
Hezbollah has maintained a significant presence in southern Lebanon for decades. The group’s activities and Israel’s military responses have remained a major source of tension between the two sides.
The latest Israeli strikes could add to concerns about renewed violence in the region. Any further attacks or military operations could increase pressure on communities in southern Lebanon and along the Israeli border.
For now, the Israeli army has presented the operation as a response to an immediate security threat. Details about the reported drone attack, the damage to the targeted facilities and any casualties have yet to be independently established.
