Israel army says hit over 100 'terror targets' in Lebanon in past day

The Israeli military on Wednesday said it struck more than 100 "terror targets" in Lebanon over the past day and had "eliminated" two Hezbollah commanders at the weekend.

The targets included "launchers, weapons storage facilities, command centres, and military structures", the army said in a statement.

The announcement came as US envoy Amos Hochstein was in Lebanon, seeking to hammer out a truce between Israel and Hezbollah.


The military also said "on Sunday, the (air force) eliminated the commanders of Hezbollah's anti-tank missile and operations unit in the coastal sector" who were "responsible for terror attacks against Israeli civilians".

The army added that its troops continued to conduct "limited, localised, targeted raids" in southern Lebanon.

Israel widened the focus of its war from Gaza to Lebanon in late September, nearly a year into the conflict in Gaza that was sparked by Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack.

In support of its Palestinian ally, Hezbollah launched low-intensity strikes on Israel after the attack, forcing about 60,000 Israelis to flee their homes.
