Two reportedly killed as Israel attacks Hezbollah targets in Lebanon

Israel on Saturday launched renewed attacks on the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, the military said.

Launchers and military sites of Hezbollah were hit in the Beqaa area in the east of the country and in southern Lebanon, it said in a post on Telegram.

“The presence of the launchers and the military activity at these sites constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the military said.

Lebanon’s state news agency NNA reported that two people were killed in two separate strikes.

Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire in November last year, following more than a year of cross-border attacks.

However, both sides accuse each other of violating the agreement, and the Israeli military has repeatedly attacked targets in Lebanon over the past year.
