Israeli strikes hit four sites in southern Lebanon overnight, Lebanese state-owned National Today Agency reported, as regional tensions intensify over Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. The strikes hit the villages of Khiam, Tayr Harfa, Kfarkella near Odaisseh, and in an area between Ramieh and Beit Leif.
The Israeli military confirmed bombardment on three of the four locations, hitting what it said were Hezbollah targets. Hezbollah is an Iran-backed, Lebanese with one of the most powerful paramilitary forces in the Middle East.
In Tayr Harfa, Israeli forces said “a terrorist was identified operating inside a Hezbollah military structure” which fighter jets struck. Elsewhere, Israeli troops hit “an observation post” in Odaisseh and “two military structures” in Khiam.
