BEIRUT, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Israeli warplanes on Friday launched a series of airstrikes on several areas in eastern and southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese National News Agency.
The agency reported that "enemy warplanes" conducted four airstrikes on the Al-Mahmoudieh and Al-Jarmaq areas, along with strikes on other areas in southern Lebanon. Additionally, four more airstrikes struck Wadi Zlayya in western Bekaa, located in eastern Lebanon.
The Israeli army announced that it struck a Hezbollah "training and qualification compound" in southern Lebanon for the second time in a week.
Avichay Adraee, the Israeli army's spokesperson, said in a statement on the X platform that the army "struck a short while ago a training and qualification compound used by Hezbollah's Radwan Force to train and prepare its members."
The raids come as Israel continues its attacks on Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, brokered by the United States and France, in effect since Nov. 27, 2024.
The Israeli army periodically carries out strikes in Lebanon, which it says are aimed at removing Hezbollah "threats," and maintains forces at five main points in the Lebanese border area. ■
