Israeli military says fresh strikes on Lebanon targeted ‘Hezbollah infrastructure’

The Israeli military said its fighter jets launched fresh strikes on dozens of alleged Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s Bekaa region on Monday.

Israeli Air Force jets “attacked dozens of launchers and buildings where weapons were stored in the Bekaa in Lebanon,” it said in a statement on Telegram, adding the sites were reportedly linked to Lebanese group Hezbollah.

Israel “will continue to attack powerfully, damage and degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities and infrastructure in Lebanon”, it added.

Earlier Monday, a Lebanese security source said an Israeli strike on a Beirut apartment block killed four people -- the first attack on the heart of the city since the outbreak of the Gaza war last year.

At least 105 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday, with 359 people wounded, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.

Israel has in recent days shifted the focus of its operation from Gaza to Lebanon, where heavy bombing has killed hundreds since last Monday and has displaced over 200,000.
