The Israel Air Force conducted airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Wednesday night, according to reports in Israeli media.
The IDF said that it struck Hezbollah weapons storage facilities, a missile launcher, and Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure that stored engineering tools.
"The Hezbollah terrorist organization continues attempting to reestablish terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon using the Lebanese population as human shields. The presence of weapons and the activity of Hezbollah in the area constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon," an IDF spokesperson's unit statement read.
"At this time, intense strikes have begun in the Lebanon sector as part of enforcement efforts. There is no change in policy. There are no unusual instructions for the civilian area. All planned events are approved as scheduled. We will provide updates on any changes," the Upper Galilee Council stated.
Last night, the Lebanese government introduced a measure to establish a monopoly on weapons in the country in order to promote Hezbollah's disarmament.
Hezbollah claimed that the move was made due to pressure from US mediators to support peace with Israel.
“The Nawaf Salam government has committed a grave sin with a decision that leaves Lebanon without resistance weapons against the Israeli enemy. The government’s decision was made due to demands from the American ambassador, and it fully serves Israel, leaving Lebanon exposed to the enemy with no deterrence.”
