IDF strikes Hezbollah Radwan Force training site, weapons depots in southern Lebanon |
The Israel Defense Forces announced on Friday that it had carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, including a training compound used by the terror group’s elite Radwan Force.
According to the IDF, the site was used to train operatives for planning and carrying out attacks against Israeli forces and civilians, including live-fire drills and weapons training. The military said it also struck additional Hezbollah structures used to store weapons in recent periods.
The military said the activity constituted a violation of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon and vowed to continue acting against threats posed by Hezbollah.
Separately, the IDF launched an interceptor missile toward what it initially said was a “suspicious aerial target” near Bar’am, close to Israel’s border with Lebanon.
The interceptor missile caused rocket warning sirens to be activated in the area for the first time in months.
After reviewing the matter, the IDF said the interceptor was launched at a “false target.” A source close to Hezbollah told Reuters the Iran-backed terror group was not linked to the incident.
