According to the army, the Israeli air force attacked around 200 Hezbollah targets deep in Lebanon and in the south of the neighboring country within 24 hours.

Israel's army has significantly stepped up its fight against the Hezbollah militia since September. This includes massive air strikes and a ground offensive in Lebanon. Residents report heavy destruction in numerous villages.
