Israeli Airstrikes on Lebanon’s Bekaa and North: Hezbollah Infrastructure and Missile Sites Targeted

New Israeli airstrikes hit the Bekaa Valley and northern Lebanon, targeting what Israel described as “Hezbollah infrastructure and precision missile production sites.”

According to a statement from the Israeli army, “Air Force jets recently struck several Hezbollah terrorist targets in the Bekaa region, including a training camp used by the group’s members, where Hezbollah operatives were observed inside.”

The statement continued: “Hezbollah used the camp to train and qualify its fighters, and to plan and oversee terrorist operations against the Israeli military and the State of Israel.”

The Israeli army also announced that it had struck “military infrastructure within a Hezbollah precision missile production facility in Lebanon, as well as terrorist structures inside a Hezbollah military site in the Sharbeen area of northern Lebanon.”

The army stressed that “the storage of weapons, the existence of such terrorist infrastructure, and Hezbollah’s ongoing military exercises against Israel constitute a blatant violation of understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and pose a significant threat to the State of Israel.”

Israel has repeatedly carried out strikes inside Lebanon, claiming to target Hezbollah positions, despite the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024, following more than a year of hostilities that included a two-month-long open war between Israel and the group.

Under U.S. pressure and amid fears of escalating Israeli attacks, the Lebanese government last month instructed the army to implement a plan for Hezbollah’s disarmament.

The Lebanese army has been tasked with completing the disarmament process within three months in the country’s south, near the border with Israel.

In mid-September, Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji told Agence France-Presse that the army’s plan presented to the government calls for “the completion of Hezbollah’s disarmament in the area near the border with Israel, in southern Lebanon, within three months.”
