The Israeli military said it had struck around 800 Hezbollah targets as part of the deadliest strikes on Lebanon since fighting started last October.
“Since this morning, the IDF (military) has conducted proactive and extensive aerial strikes against Hezbollah terrorist targets in Lebanon,” a statement said, adding that the strikes hit “approximately 800 Hezbollah terror targets in southern Lebanon and in the area of Bekaa deep inside Lebanese territory.”

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency also said that Israel was conducting new raids across Lebanon’s east just hours after deadly strikes on the south and east.
“Enemy raids targeted the mountain” areas in the Baalbek region and several towns and villages, NNA reported, adding that “the Israeli enemy” launched a strike on the town of Hermel.
Israel on monday unleashed its most widespread wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah while warning Lebanese citizens to evacuate areas where the armed group was storing weapons.
“We are preparing for a large-scale and targeted strike in Bekaa Valley,” military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said earlier in the afternoon at a media briefing, adding that residents should “distance themselves” from Hezbollah sites “for your safety and protection.”
“Hezbollah stores its strategic weaponry in civilian buildings and uses the population as human shields,” Hagari said.
“The houses in Bekaa have rockets and drones. We will attack them before they pose a threat to the residents of Israel.”
