ISRAEL has bombed hundreds of targets just hours after Hezbollah’s leader vowed revenge for the sabotage attack that left 37 dead.
The overnight bombing comes after exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, sabotaged by Mossad spies, targeted Hezbollah terrorists in two surprise attacks.
The Israeli military blitzed 52 strikes across southern Lebanon in the attack, Lebanon’s state news agency NNA said.
Israel claimed to have destroyed 100 rocket launchers and around 1,000 launch barrels in the strikes.
Black and white footage posted to social media showed the country blowing up targets.
The IDF said: “The IDF continues to damage and degrade the terror capabilities and military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terror organization.”
Israel also hit the south of the country in earlier strikes as it shifts its war away from Gaza and towards its northern neighbour.
The Israeli military said on Thursday it struck six Hezbollah “terrorist infrastructure sites” and a weapons storage facility in southern Lebanon overnight, as fears grew of a full-blown war.
The air force “struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites in the areas of Chihine, Tayibe, Blida, Meiss El Jabal, Aitaroun and Kfarkela in southern Lebanon, as well as a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the area of Khiam in southern Lebanon”, a military statement said.
