IDF Strikes Lebanon After Rockets, Missiles Cross Border: Hezbollah Facilities Targeted

In a recent development, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has carried out a series of strikes on terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon. This comes after three anti-tank missiles crossed from Lebanese territory into Israeli area of Shtula on Tuesday. The IDF announced strikes on numerous Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, including a weapons storage facility in the area of Meiss el-Jabal and other military structures in Ayta ash Shab and el-Khiam. This follows a barrage of rockets launched from Lebanon at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona, resulting in several fires that broke out in and around the city. The Magen David Adom ambulance service is scanning impact sites for possible injuries, while the Fire and Rescue Service battles blazes in multiple northern towns. The Upper Galilee fire chief has stated that some fires are contained and efforts are concentrating on keeping the blazes from reaching built-up areas. As tensions continue to rise in the region, both Israel and Lebanon remain on high alert.
