Israel Conducts Extensive Bombing in Southern Lebanon Targeting "Weapons Storage Facilities"
On the 25th (local time), the Israeli military continued airstrikes targeting Hezbollah, the Iran-aligned armed faction in Lebanon.
In a statement released that morning, the Israeli military announced, "We are extensively bombing southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley region." The targets are Hezbollah's terrorist facilities and weapons storage sites.
According to Lebanon's state-run NNA news agency, two rockets fell in the mountainous village of Maysara in the Keserwan area, about 25 km north of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, killing three and injuring nine.
Maysara, predominantly inhabited by Shia Muslims, is one of Hezbollah's strongholds. AFP reported that this is the first time the area has been bombed during the recent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah.
Since declaring the launch of the "Northern Arrow" military operation targeting Hezbollah on the 23rd, the Israeli military has continued large-scale bombings for three consecutive days in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border, the eastern Bekaa Valley, and areas near the capital Beirut.
