The Israeli military hit several Hezbollah targets in Lebanon overnight into Tuesday as the world awaits to see the extent of Israel’s response to this weekend’s Hezbollah attack that left a dozen children dead.
The Israel Defense Forces “struck approximately ten Hezbollah terror targets in seven different locations in southern Lebanon,” and the targets included a Hezbollah weapons storage facility, terrorism infrastructure sites, military structures, and a launcher, according to the IDF.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Monday that Israel’s response to this weekend’s strike would be “severe,” prompting speculation that the limited war between Israel and Hezbollah could expand into an all-out conflict that could draw other parties, including the United States, into the conflict.
Shortly after IDF officials announced the overnight strikes, they identified about 10 projectiles that crossed from Lebanon into northern Israel, the majority of which were intercepted by Israel’s air defense systems. There were reports that a civilian was injured in the attack, according to the IDF.
