Israel says it has carried out more than 20 attacks in Lebanon this week
Israel's military said Friday that it had carried out more than 20 attacks in Lebanon over the course of the week, responding, it said, "Hezbollah ceasefire violations."
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said troops continued operating in the "security zone" they have occupied across southern Lebanon for weeks, "to remove threats to the State of Israel."
"As part of the activity, two underground routes were destroyed in the village of Majdal Zone. In addition, the Air Force and the forces carried out more than 20 attacks following Hezbollah ceasefire violations and killed a number of terrorists who were a threat to the forces," the IDF said.
Israel's ongoing fight with Hezbollah, despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire , has remained a major bone of contention in efforts to forge a peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran.
