In the two months from November 27 to Monday, Israel killed at least 83 people in Lebanon
At least two people have been killed after Israel launched a wave of attacks on Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley in its latest breach of a fragile ceasefire agreement with the Hezbollah group.
The Israeli army said on Friday it struck “multiple” Hezbollah targets in the area near the border with Syria in the east, as tensions escalated following its extension of a recent deadline for removing its troops from the country.
The army claimed that the sites it targeted in the overnight attack include “underground infrastructure used to develop and manufacture weaponry” and sites on the border used to “smuggle weaponry into Lebanon”.
Later on Friday, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said two people were killed and 10 wounded in the attack.
Hezbollah official Ibrahim Moussawi condemned the air raids, calling them “a very dangerous violation and a blatant and explicit aggression”, calling on Lebanon to halt Israel’s continued attacks.
