Israel renewed its attack on eastern and southern Lebanon on Sunday night, striking what the Israeli military described as Hezbollah sites.

In a statement, the military said "several" military sites belonging to Hezbollah were struck, including strategic weapons production and storage sites, and a rocket launching site in the area of Bekaa and southern Lebanon.

"The presence of weapons and Hezbollah activities in the area constitutes blatant violations of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon," the military said, vowing to "continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel."

Meanwhile, a Lebanese military source and eyewitnesses from the southern areas told Xinhua that Israeli warplanes carried out 20 airstrikes on wide areas in eastern and southern Lebanon, targeting "Hezbollah positions that had previously been subjected to similar attacks."

Despite a ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 that ended 14 months of cross-border fighting, Israel has continued to carry out intermittent strikes on Lebanese territory.
