Israel attacked a Hezbollah weapons stockpile in the eastern Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, injuring at least eight people—two of them were minors.
The Israeli military announced that on Monday night, it launched an attack on a Hezbollah weapons storage facility located in the eastern Bekaa Valley of Lebanon.
Two security sources informed Reuters that there were no casualties as a result of the strike. Six of the eight injured, according to Lebanon's health ministry, were Lebanese nationals, while two were Syrian minors.
According to the Israeli military, many Hezbollah weapons storage facilities in the Beqaa neighborhood of Lebanon were targeted by Israeli air power.
The military stated in a statement that secondary explosions found after the strikes indicated the presence of numerous weapons in the targeted locations.
A senior member in Hezbollah's Rocket and Missile Unit as well as a cell operating out of a Hezbollah military facility were the targets of earlier strikes in Deir Qanoun and Tayibe, south of Lebanon, according to the statement.
Because unexploded missiles had landed close to the depot after the attack, the Lebanese Agricultural Scientific Research Authority announced that it would halt its research stations in the Beqaa region as a precaution.
The Israeli military claimed that on Saturday, it carried out an airstrike against a weapons storage used by Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, killing at least ten individuals, including two children.
According to three security officials who spoke to Reuters in July, Israeli attacks also struck another munitions storage in the southern Lebanon town of Adloun that belonged to the group backed by Iran.
Since Hezbollah's announcement of a "support front" with Palestinians, immediately after its ally Hamas attacked southern Israeli border villages on October 7, Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging gunfire. Israel launched a military offensive in Gaza as a result of this.
A Reuters count indicates that since the fighting began in Lebanon last year, about 622 people have died there, including 416 Hezbollah combatants and 132 civilians.
