The Israeli army announced Friday that it carried out a series of intense air raids targeting what it described as a training complex belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, along with military buildings in southern Lebanon.
In a post on the platform X, the Israeli army’s Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said the strikes targeted a training facility used by the Radwan Force to prepare its operatives to plan and carry out attacks against Israeli army forces and Israeli civilians. He added that the targeted operatives were undergoing training in marksmanship and in the use of various combat weapons.
According to Adraee, the raids also struck military buildings that had been used in recent months to store weapons for Hezbollah operatives. He stressed that the presence of such infrastructure and the conduct of military training constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a direct threat to Israel’s security. He reiterated that the Israeli army “will continue to work to eliminate any threat to the State of Israel.”
Earlier on Friday, approximately 10 Israeli airstrikes hit the areas of Al-Rayhan, Malikh, and Armaiti in the Jezzine district of southern Lebanon. Additional raids targeted the vicinity of the Mays Castle area between the towns of Ansar and Zararia, as well as the Tabna area on the outskirts of Al-Baysariya in the Saida al-Zahrani district.
Separately, an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on an excavator in the town of Aita al-Shaab, in the district of Bint Jbeil, on Friday morning.
In the northern Bekaa, Israeli warplanes were also reported to have flown at low altitude over the Baalbek area.
The Israeli army had earlier confirmed that it would continue carrying out attacks against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
