Israeli warplanes carried out at least two strikes near the southern port city of Sidon in one of the largest attacks near a major city, wounding 14 people on February 19. 

The Israeli military said it attacked Hezbollah arms depots near Sidon in retaliation for a drone that exploded in an open field near Tiberias in Israel earlier on February 19. The deepest strike on Lebanon was the January 2 attack that killed top Hamas official, Saleh Arouri, in Beirut.
