Israeli warplanes carried out new airstrikes on several areas of southern Lebanon on Wednesday, according to Lebanese sources cited by Al Jazeera. The attacks targeted the Ali al-Taher heights and Doha Kfar Roumman, with further strikes reported near Qantara and Deir Siryan. The strikes occurred in successive waves, the sources said. No immediate word on casualties was available.
The airstrikes are part of ongoing cross-border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which have escalated in recent months. The Lebanese government has repeatedly condemned such attacks as violations of its sovereignty, while Hezbollah has vowed to respond to any aggression. The international community has called for restraint on both sides to prevent a wider conflict.
According to Mehr News Agency, the report was based on information from Al Jazeera, which cited unnamed Lebanese sources. The exact extent of damage and any potential casualties remain unclear at this time. Further details are awaited as the situation develops.
