ALBAWABA - As tension escalates between Hezbollah and Israel, Israel announced striking what it claims to be Hezbollah infrastructure sites after the armed group downed an Israeli drone.
The Israeli army stated in a statement that fighter jets targeted a military facility and three additional Hezbollah infrastructure targets in the eastern city of Baalbek.
The Hezbollah-downed drone was identified as an Israeli-made Hermes 900 drone, which the Lebanese group downed in its latest attack. Israeli shelling killed more than 50 civilians, in addition to what the Israeli army claimed to be 270 Hezbollah fighters. In southern Lebanon, approximately 90,000 people have also been displaced.
