Israeli warplanes carried out Friday a series of strikes on several regions in south Lebanon and West Bekaa, despite Lebanon recently moving to negotiations with Israel.
The strikes targeted several regions including Ansar-Zrariyyeh, Iqlim al-Tuffah and al-Rihan heights in south Lebanon, and Zillaya in West Bekaa.
The Israeli army claimed Friday that the strikes targeted Hezbollah’s infrastructure and a training center in south Lebanon.
Despite a ceasefire reached last year and the inclusion of two Lebanese and Israeli civilians to lead negotiations in the ceasefire committee, Israel has kept up its airstrikes on Lebanon and officials have said that the war on Hezbollah and the negotiations with the Lebanese government are two separate things.
Lebanon however says the goal of the negotiations is to end the attacks and the occupation of five hills in south Lebanon.
