The IDF confirms carrying out airstrikes in southern Lebanon a short while ago, saying it targeted Hezbollah facilities.
The sites hit by fighter jets were used by Hezbollah to store weapons and launchers and had “posed a direct threat to the Israeli home front,” the military says.
According to the IDF, Hezbollah activity at the sites “constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

Rubio: Arab states never do ‘anything for Gaza,’ they should offer alternatives to Trump plan
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says his country is eager to hear new proposals by Arab states on Gaza, accusing them of not being willing to take any practical steps to help the Palestinians, following US President Donald Trump’s stunning plan to displace the territory’s entire population.
Rubio, who leaves later today on a trip that will take him to the Middle East, says he hopes to discuss ideas during his stops in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as well as Israel, after talks in Washington with Egypt and Jordan.
“Hopefully they’re going to have a really good plan to present the president,” Rubio says of Arab states, speaking on the radio show of conservative hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. “Right now, the only plan — they don’t like it — but the only plan is the Trump plan. So if they’ve got a better plan, now’s the time to present it.”
“All these countries say how much they care about the Palestinians, but none of them want to take any Palestinians. None of them have a history of doing anything for Gaza,” Rubio charges.
Diplomats say that Egypt is leading efforts to present an alternative to Trump within weeks, which would involve training a new security force in Gaza and identifying local Palestinian leaders who would be in charge.
Hezbollah supporters protest Lebanon’s prevention of Iranian planes landing in Beirut
Hezbollah supporters block the Beirut airport road and burn tires to protest a decision barring two Iranian planes from landing in the Lebanese capital, state media and an airport official say.
It appears the protesters’ ire is directed at the Lebanese government and airport authorities for allegedly capitulating to Israeli pressure to cancel the flight.
Last night, the IDF said that Iran’s Quds Force has, in recent weeks, been using civilian flights to smuggle cash to the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon via the Beirut international airport, and that the Israeli military has been regularly updating a US-led committee supervising the ceasefire with information to foil the attempts.
