JERUSALEM, July 9 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli military said on Wednesday it completed "targeted operations" in southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure sites and weapons depots.
There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah.
According to a statement from the military, in one of the raids, the Israeli troops located and "dismantled" a compound containing weapons depots and firing positions belonging to Hezbollah.
In another raid, soldiers located weapons hidden in thicketed terrain in the Labbouneh area, including a multi-barrel launcher, a heavy machine gun, and dozens of explosive devices. Meanwhile, an underground weapons storage was also located and destroyed.
The military said the raids were carried out to prevent Hezbollah from re-establishing itself in the area.
Despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024, ending 14 months of cross-border fighting, Israel has continued occasional strikes in Lebanon. ■
