“The terrorist Hezbollah has turned southern Lebanon into a war zone, and for decades has armed civilians’ homes, dug tunnels under them and used them as human shields,” the Israeli army said in a statement.
The army confirmed that the Chief of Staff approved the plans for the war in the northern arena, referring to the conflict with Hezbollah.
Sky News Arabia correspondent reported that the Israeli raids on southern Lebanon included the areas of Mansouri, the outskirts of Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, Markaba, Adshit al-Qusayr, Qabrikha, and Bani Hayyan.
The Israeli attack comes a day after a series of bombings targeting wireless communication devices used by Hezbollah members, leaving dozens dead and thousands wounded in various areas of Lebanon.
Hezbollah accused Israel of being behind the explosions, and vowed to respond.
