The Israeli military has confirmed it struck Hezbollah weapons storage facilities overnight. The Israeli air force “struck two Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in southern Lebanon, containing rockets and additional weaponry”, the military said in a statement.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) said on Saturday evening that “the Israeli enemy launched a raid” on the town of Adloun, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the border with Israel, later saying the target was “an ammunition depot”.
Rockets were still exploding about an hour after the strike was first reported, the NNA said, adding that the blasts “lightly injured three citizens”. The NNA said traffic on the highway linking the southern coastal cities of Sidon and Tyre had been interrupted in both directions.
Earlier on Saturday, Hezbollah said it had launched “dozens of Katyusha rockets” on northern Israel “in response” to a strike blamed on Israel that injured civilians
