The Israeli army announced on Tuesday that it had struck around 10 Hezbollah targets overnight in seven different areas of southern Lebanon, killing one fighter from the Iran-backed militant group.
The army reported striking a Hezbollah weapons storage facility, terror infrastructure sites, military structures, and a launcher in southern Lebanon, AFP reported.
These strikes followed a rocket attack from Lebanon that hit a Druze Arab town in the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights on Saturday, killing 12 children aged between 10 and 16.
During a visit to Majdal Shams on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel would deliver a “severe response” to the attack.
Israel claims the rocket that killed the children was an Iranian-made Falaq, fired by its ally Hezbollah. Although Hezbollah denied responsibility for firing the rocket, it claimed multiple launches towards Israel on Saturday.
Israeli forces and Hezbollah have been engaged in near-daily clashes along the border since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7.
The violence has so far resulted in the deaths of 22 soldiers and 24 civilians on the Israeli side, including in the Golan Heights, according to army figures.
