The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Saturday said in a statement that it struck more than 85 Hezbollah infrastructure sites from the air and on the ground in several regions of Lebanon over the past day.

Among the targets struck were weapons storage facilities, launchers and structures that Hezbollah used to advance strikes against Israeli civilians and soldiers, the IDF said.

In the Bekaa Valley, eastern Lebanon, the IDF struck an underground site that Hezbollah had used for producing weapons.

Also, the Israeli army struck Hezbollah militants, saying they were carrying out attacks against IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon.

According to the Israeli army, Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israeli army forces operating in the security zone controlled by the IDF in southern Lebanon. The rockets fell near the soldiers, with no injuries reported.
