Israel Strikes Hezbollah Sites in Lebanon

Aerial footage released by Israel's army showed what it said were strikes on Hezbollah military structures in various locations in Lebanon.

An Israeli strike targeted a Hezbollah arms depot in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, the Israeli military said.

The strike did not result in any fatalities, two security sources said. Lebanon's health ministry said of the eight injured six were Lebanese citizens and two Syrian children.

The Israeli military said its air force also struck a number of Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the area of Beqaa in Lebanon.

"Following the strikes, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of large amounts of weapons in the facilities struck," the military said in a statement.

It said earlier strikes in Deir Qanoun and Tayibe in the south of Lebanon targeted a senior militant in Hezbollah's rocket and missile unit and a cell operating from a Hezbollah military structure.

Some 622 people in Lebanon have been killed since the start of the clashes last year, including 416 Hezbollah fighters and 132 civilians.

Meanwhile five people were killed and several were injured after an Israeli airstrike on an internet distribution facility in west Khan Younis, according to Gaza health officials.

Palestinian casualties, including a child, were rushed to Gaza's Nasser Hospital on horse-drawn carriages, ambulances and whatever means of transportation available.

The current war in Gaza began on Oct. 7 last year when Hamas gunmen stormed across the border into Israeli communities, killing around 1,200 people and abducting about 250 hostages according to Israeli tallies.

Israel's military campaign has since leveled swathes of Gaza, driving nearly all of its 2.3 million people from their homes, giving rise to deadly hunger and disease and killing at least 40,000 people according to Palestinian health authorities.
