Israeli Airstrikes Target Hezbollah in Retaliation for Lethal Rocket Attack

Israeli aircraft carried out attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon, following a rocket attack on a soccer pitch that killed 12 people, including children. The strikes targeted weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure in multiple Lebanese locations, according to the Israeli military.

Israeli aircraft carried out attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon overnight, the Israeli military said on Sunday, following a rocket attack on a soccer pitch that killed 12 people, including children.

"Overnight, the IAF struck a series of Hezbollah terror targets both deep inside Lebanese territory and in southern Lebanon, including weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure in the areas of Chabriha, Borj El Chmali, Beqaa, Kfarkela, Rab El Thalathine, Khiam, and Tayr Harfa," the military stated.

The Israeli strikes are said to be in response to the deadly rocket attack, which heightened tensions in the deeply volatile region.
