Israel Defense Forces on Thursday said it carried out airstrikes on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, just days after a deadly wave of explosions around Beirut.
Israel launched a series of overnight strikes on sites in Lebanon where the Israeli military says Hezbollah terrorists operated. The strikes follow two waves of deadly electronic device explosions across Lebanon. The Israeli strikes targeted infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon, including the areas of Chihine, Tayibe, Blida, Meiss El Jabal, Aitaroun and Kfarkela, Israel Defense Forces said Thursday. Israel also struck a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in Khiam.
Israel has largely been blamed for the two rounds of deadly blasts. The Israeli government has not commented on the explosions. On Wednesday, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that Israel is behind the explosions of pagers used by members of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
