Israeli forces carried out air strikes across southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley on Thursday.
Heavy shelling was reported on the outskirts of Ansar and Zrariya, as well as near Qallaat Mays outside Ansar, followed by raids that targeted the eastern mountain chain in the Yahfoufa area in the western Bekaa.
Israeli Army Spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed the operations, stating that the military “struck infrastructure inside a site used for the production and storage of strategic weaponry belonging to the terrorist Hezbollah organization in the Bekaa region of Lebanon.”
He said the Israeli army also attacked Hezbollah infrastructure in the Zrariyeh area of southern Lebanon.
“The presence of this terrorist infrastructure, which was targeted, constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” Adraee said on X, adding the army will continue to act to eliminate any threat to Israel.
Earlier on Thursday, an Israeli drone strike killed one person after targeting a motorcycle between Ain Baal and Bazouriya in Tyre district.
The strikes came amid heightened Israeli aerial activity over Lebanon. On Thursday morning, drones were observed at various altitudes across the eastern and western mountain ranges and the central Bekaa Valley. Reconnaissance flights were also reported over Tyre, its surrounding villages, and along the Litani River.
In a separate incident at dawn Thursday, Israeli forces detonated a building in the Abu Tawil neighborhood on the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab, reportedly a former school for children with special needs.
