Tel Aviv: About 30 launchers and 150 nests, military infrastructure,
military buildings and a weapons warehouse: the IDF continues to attack
Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
Israel Air Force fighter jets Thursday night attacked about 30 rocket
launchers and military infrastructures of the terrorist organization Hezbollah
in Lebanon, which contained about 150 launch canisters (each rocket launcher
has multiple such canisters) intended for immediate launch towards the
territory of Israel.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) launched targeted strikes against Hezbollah
terrorist capabilities and infrastructure in Lebanon, aiming to bring security
to northern Israel to enable the return of residents to their homes and
achieve war goals.

In a post on X, the IDF stated, "The IDF is currently striking Hezbollah
targets in Lebanon to degrade Hezbollah's terrorist capabilities and
infrastructure. For decades, Hezbollah has weaponized civilian homes, dug
tunnels beneath them and used civilians as human shields--having turned
southern Lebanon into a war zone. The IDF is operating to bring security to
northern Israel in order to enable the return of residents to their homes and
achieve war goals."
Earlier in the day, coordinated attacks across Lebanon targeted communication
devices, resulting in devastating consequences. In the latest attacks, at
least 20 people lost their lives and over 450 were injured, authorities said,
according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The latest attack comes just a day after 12 people were killed and more than
2,800 others were wounded in a coordinated explosion of pagers in Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant declared the start of a "new
phase" in the war and asserted that the focus is now on the northern arena.
Sharing a post on X, Gallant said, "We are at the start of a new phase in the
war - we are allocating resources and forces to the northern arena and our
mission is clear: ensuring the safe return of Israel's northern communities to
their homes. To do so, the security situation must be changed."
Earlier on Wednesday, dozens of ambulance crews from the Lebanese Red Cross
worked to rescue and evacuate those who were wounded after walkie-talkie
explosions in Lebanon, according to CNN report.
