The Israeli army’s warplanes carried out a series of overnight strikes across southern Lebanon amid the ongoing escalation of tensions with the Hezbollah resistance group, Anadolu reports.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that Israeli fighter jets bombed the forest areas surrounding the southern Lebanon towns of Zibqine, Chaaitiyeh, and Qlaileh 17 times.

However, the Israeli army claimed to have targeted 30 Hezbollah rocket launching sites and military infrastructure in southern Lebanon in overnight raids, according to the Times of Israel.
