Israeli troops have moved further into southern Lebanon, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Tuesday, as the country continued strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon.
The Israeli military said it had pushed deeper into southern Lebanon beyond the five posts it already holds in the area. Israel says the deployment is intended to create an additional layer of security for residents in northern Israel living close to the Lebanese border.
Meanwhile, several people were killed in Israeli strikes on a residential building in the eastern Lebanese city of Baalbek on Wednesday, according to Lebanon’s state news agency.
The IDF said it killed a Hezbollah intelligence chief on Monday in airstrikes targeting Beirut’s southern suburbs and southern Lebanon. Lebanon’s health ministry reported that 31 people were killed and 149 injured in the attacks.
