Israel strikes target Iqlim al-Tuffah in south Lebanon

[AnNahar] Israel's military said it carried out strikes on southern Lebanon on Tuesday, targeting a training compound and other sites operated by Hezbollah.

"A short while ago, the IDF (Israeli military) struck infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in several areas in southern Lebanon," it said in a statement.

The strikes targeted the Wadi Azza area between the Nabatieh and Sidon districts and the heights of the southern region of Iqlim al-Tuffah.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported "a series of (Israeli) raids targeting the Iqlim al-Tuffah region" near the towns of Azza, Roumin and Jbaa, about 40 kilometres north of the border with Israel.

"A number of houses were damaged" in Jbaa, the NNA added.

According to the Israeli military, the operation hit "a training and qualification compound used by Hezbollah's Radwan Force" as well as "military structures and a launch site belonging to Hezbollah".

"The targets that were struck, and the military training conducted in preparation for attacks against the State of Israel, constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and a threat to the State of Israel," it added.

Despite a November 2024 ceasefire that was supposed to end more than a year of hostilities between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group, Israel has kept up strikes on Lebanon and has also maintained troops in five south Lebanon areas.

Israel has mainly said it is targeting Hezbollah.

Under heavy U.S. pressure and fears of expanded Israeli strikes, Lebanon's government has committed to disarming Hezbollah, and the army is set to dismantle the group's military infrastructure near the border by year end before tackling the rest of the country.

The Times of Israel adds:

The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that it carried out a wave of overnight airstrikes in southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah sites, including a training facility used by the terror group’s elite Radwan Force.

According to the military, the Radwan Force “training and qualification compound” was used by the terror group to plan and advance attacks against Israel.

In addition, the IDF said it struck several buildings used by Hezbollah and a rocket-launching site in southern Lebanon.

“The targets that were struck, and the military training conducted in preparation for activities against the State of Israel, constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and a threat to the State of Israel,” the military said.
