The Israeli military says that about 100 of its fighter jets “struck and destroyed thousands of Hezbollah rocket launcher barrels, aimed for immediate fire toward northern and central Israel.”
“More than 40 launch areas in Lebanon were struck during the strikes,” it said.
Hezbollah has yet to comment on the claim.
Lebanese state media NNA reported one person was killed in the strikes and that there was damage to crops and infrastructure.
Areas in and around Qabrikha, Tulin, Wadi Saluki, Houla, Aadichit Al Qusayr, Deir Mimas, Talloussa and Bani Haiyyan, were struck, NNA said.
Earlier, NNA reported that “enemy warplanes” conducted strikes on the outskirts of the towns of Zibqin, Tayr Harfa, and Chama, causing severe damage to crop and local infrastructure, especially water and electricity networks.
It reported that Israeli warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft flew over the villages of Tyre and Bint Jbeil throughout the early morning hours.
