Israeli military strikes alleged Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon

The Israeli army said on Thursday that it struck several alleged Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, including a rocket launcher and other infrastructure.

In a statement on Telegram, the military said the targets represented a “violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

Lebanon will present its plan to persuade Hezbollah to disarm on Sunday, US envoy Thomas Barrack said on Tuesday.

Israel has indicated it could scale back its presence in southern Lebanon if Beirut moved to disarm Hezbollah. Despite that pledge, Israeli strikes have continued in the weeks since the cabinet approved the plan.
