Israeli fighter jets pounded Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon late on Thursday, striking hundreds of rocket launcher barrels that were set to be used to immediately fire towards Israel, the military said. It said that since the afternoon, fighter jets struck about 100 rocket launchers consisting of about 1,000 barrels. “The [Israel military] will continue to operate to degrade the Hezbollah terrorist organisation’s infrastructure and capabilities in order to defend the state of Israel,” it said.
