Israel's military conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon's Bekaa valley, the first such strike since October's conflict. The strikes targeted Hezbollah's aerial defense system sites in response to the downing of an Israeli drone by a surface-to-air missile in southern Lebanon.
Israel's army on Monday confirmed its fighter jets struck Hezbollah targets in the Bekaa valley, the first such strike on Lebanon's east since fighting erupted in October.
The strikes targeted sites used by Hezbollah for its aerial defence system, the army said, adding that they came "in response to the launch of a surface-to-air missile" that downed an Israeli drone earlier on Monday in southern Lebanon.
