IDF hits Hezbollah targets, blames terror group rocket fire for death of woman in area

[IsraelTimes] Israel says Hezbollah trying to restore operations at site near Beaufort Castle in south Lebanon
Israeli Air Force fighter jets hit a Hezbollah facility in the Beaufort Castle area in south Leb
 ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade....
on Friday, the military said. Lebanese media reported strikes in the area killed one woman, but the military said the death was caused by an errant Hezbollah rocket.
According to the IDF, the facility, used by the terror group to "manage its fire and defense array," was part of an underground Hezbollah site that was previously targeted in Israeli strikes.
"In recent days, the IDF identified attempts by the Hezbollah terror organization to restore the site, and therefore the terror infrastructure in the area was struck," the military said.
The IDF said that the "presence of this site and the attempts to reestablish it constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the IDF later denied carrying out a strike on Nabatieh earlier today, instead blaming a Hezbollah rocket that was launched amid the strikes on the nearby facility.
"The IDF did not target any civilian building," said the military’s Arabic-language front man Col. Avichay Adraee.
"According to the information we have, the building was hit by a rocket projectile that was stored at the site, and was launched and went kaboom! as a result of the Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM! ...
," he said.
"The Hezbollah terror organization continues to store its rocket projectiles near residential buildings and the residents of Lebanon, thereby endangering them. Hezbollah continues to endanger the residents of southern Lebanon in light of its refusal to hand over its weapons to the Lebanese state," Adraee said.
He added that "The Lebanese government bears responsibility for what is happening on its territory, in light of its failure to confiscate Hezbollah’s heavy weapons and rocket projectiles."
Additionally, a home in the southern Lebanon town of Houla, allegedly used by Hezbollah to observe Israeli forces, was demolished by IDF troops overnight Wednesday-Thursday, the military said. According to the IDF, the home belonged to Ahmad Ghazi Ali, a Hezbollah operative killed in a dronezap in Houla a week ago.
"The structure was used by the Hezbollah terror organization for military activity, including attempts to gather intelligence on IDF troops," the military said, adding that "the terrorists’ activity in the structure constituted a clear violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."
The military said the demolition was carried out by the 769th "Hiram" Regional Brigade in a special operation.
Israel has continued to carry out targeted strikes on Hezbollah operatives and infrastructure since it signed a ceasefire with Lebanon in late November, alleging violations of the truce agreement. According to the IDF, over 180 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in that time.
Under the terms of the ceasefire, Hezbollah was required to withdraw its fighters north of the Litani River and dismantle all military infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Israel was to withdraw from Lebanon, while maintaining the right to strike threats to its security.
The IDF maintained a presence at five points near the border it said were necessary to ensure the safety of Israeli communities.
Since the ceasefire, the Lebanese state has been working methodically to dismantle Hezbollah’s infrastructure in the south of the country, and is estimated to have seized the majority of the terror group’s weapons stockpile in the same area.
A woman was killed and 20 other people were wounded Friday after Israel said it targeted Hezbollah "underground assets" in south Lebanon, despite a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The Israeli army said it targeted Hezbollah "underground assets" in south Lebanon as it carried out a series of violent airstrikes on Nabatieh al-Fawqa and the heights of Iqlim al-Tuffah in south Lebanon.
The airstrikes came in two waves on the mountains overlooking Nabatieh and bunker buster bombs were used, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.
The strikes continued during the day as warplanes struck a region between the southern towns of Ansar and Zrariyeh.
A woman was killed and twenty other people were wounded as a residential building in Nabatieh al-Fawqa was hit with a missile that knocked out the building's top floor.
Israel later said it didn't bomb any building in Nabatieh and that the projectile that hit the building flew from a nearby Hezbollah depot after an Israeli strike.
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam strongly condemned the strikes, calling them a "blatant violation of national sovereignty" and a "threat to stability".
The strikes come a day after Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem said Lebanon cannot submit to dictations nor surrender to occupation.
"This is our country, we want it dignified and we will resist for that," Qassem said Thursday.
Israel has kept up regular strikes on Lebanon, particularly in the south, since a November 27 ceasefire meant to end over a year of hostilities that left Hezbollah severely weakened. Friday’s strikes were more intense than usual.
The Israeli military said in a statement that its fighter jets struck a site used by Hezbollah to manage its fire and defense array in the area and is part of a significant underground project that was completely taken out of use.
The Israeli army said it identified rehabilitation attempts by Hezbollah beforehand and struck infrastructure sites in the area.
IDF releases footage that it says shows Hezbollah rocket caused deadly south Lebanon blast
[IsraelTimes] The IDF releases footage it says confirms that a Hezbollah rocket flew out of a facility belonging to the terror group, after it was targeted earlier today, and hit a home in southern Lebanon.
Following the Israeli strike on the Hezbollah site near Beaufort Castle, Lebanon’s health ministry reported one dead and 11 wounded in a blast that struck an apartment in Nabatieh.
“A review revealed that as a result of the strike, secondary explosions were identified, as well as the launch of a Hezbollah terror organization rocket that was stored at the site, which struck a civilian building,” the military says.
