The IDF on Sunday carried out a precise strike on rocket launchers in southern Lebanon that Hezbollah operatives were working with.
According to the ceasefire, Hezbollah is not allowed to have a presence in southern Lebanon, nor is it allowed to store or move weapons there, even if it is not planning on imminently using them.“These activities of the Hezbollah terrorist organization are in violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a threat to the State of Israel and its civilians,” the IDF said. Later on Sunday, the IDF said it had struck military sites that contained rocket launchers in the Baalbek area, about 100 km. into Lebanon.This came hours before the funeral for former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Dahiyeh, a Shi’ite suburb of Beirut.
