Israel strikes around 200 Hezbollah targets within 24 hours

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has announced that the 36th Division conducted targeted airstrikes against Hezbollah rocket launchers, anti-tank positions, and weapons caches in southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours.

The operation resulted in the elimination of dozens of Hezbollah fighters, the IDF says, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

According to the Israeli army, the Israeli Air Force targeted approximately 200 Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon and deeper into the country over the past 24 hours.

These strikes focused on various objectives, including Hezbollah cells, rocket launchers, command posts, and combat positions. Israeli fighter jets launched strikes in northeastern Lebanon, targeting the sites near Makneh and Younine settlements in northern Baalbek city. 

On September 23, Israel announced a "preemptive offensive operation" in Lebanon, codenamed “Northern Arrows”. Earlier, the United Nations has reported concerns regarding the safety of peacekeepers due to actions taken by Israel.
