i24 News – The Israeli air force early on Saturday struck dozens of Hezbollah rocket launchers and a command center from which Hezbollah terrorists were operating in southern Lebanon.

The strikes represented a retaliation for the first rocket attack on Israel from Lebanon since the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah took hold in November of last year. The IDF said the aggression “constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and is a direct threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. The State of Lebanon bears responsibility for upholding the agreement.”

At least three jihadists were killed in the IDF strikes, local reports said.

The Lebanese military, meanwhile, dismantled Hezbollah launchers.

The Iran-based jihadist militia reportedly told the Lebanese government it wasn’t seeking to escalate the conflict.
