The Israeli military said on Sunday its fighter jets had struck Hezbollah sites in eastern Lebanon, where the Iran-backed group has a strong presence, in retaliation for one of its drones being shot down.
It said the strikes were “in retaliation for the attack in which an Israel Defense Forces drone was shot down” by a surface-to-air missile on Saturday. Hezbollah targets Israeli positions close to the border, while Israel retaliates with raids that go deeper and deeper into Lebanese territory and carries out strikes against the Shiite Islamist group’s officials.
