Israel on Thursday launched a targeted airstrikes in Lebanon hitting several locations of Hezbollah. The attack was initiated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shortly after Hezbollah gave a televised speech condemning the recent pager and walkie-talkie attacks in the country.
IDF said in a post on X, “The IDF is currently striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon to degrade Hezbollah’s terrorist capabilities and infrastructure. For decades, Hezbollah has weaponized civilian homes, dug tunnels beneath them, and used civilians as human shields — having turned southern Lebanon into a war zone,"
It added "The IDF is operating to bring security to northern Israel in order to enable the return of residents to their homes and achieve war goals,"
Thursday’s attack came at a time when Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was delivering a speech for the first time since thousands of explosions on booby-trapped radios and pagers hit the Iran-backed Lebanese group earlier this week.
Reuters reported, as the broadcast unfolded, sonic booms from Israeli warplanes shook buildings in Beirut.
