The Israeli army announced this morning that it had struck several targets of the Islamist movement "Hezbollah" in eastern Lebanon overnight, despite a ceasefire in effect since the end of November last year, Agence France-Presse reported, BTA reported.
"Tonight, the Israeli air force struck multiple targets of the "Hezbollah" terrorists in the Bekaa Valley that posed a threat", the army announced in a statement on social media, stressing that it "remains committed" to the truce between Israel and the Lebanese movement.
One of the sites attacked included "underground infrastructure used for the development and production of weapons", the military said. It said it also struck facilities "on the Syrian-Lebanese border used by "Hezbollah" to traffic weapons destined for Lebanon".
Yesterday, the Israeli army said it had intercepted a "Hezbollah" drone that it said was heading towards Israeli territory. The military condemned the act as a violation of the ceasefire agreement that ended the war between Israel and the pro-Iranian movement on November 27.
The fighting between Israel and "Hezbollah" began on October 8, 2023, the day after the unprecedented attack on Israel by the Palestinian group "Hamas" - an ally of the Lebanese movement, which sparked a war in the Gaza Strip, recalls AFP.
