STORYLINE:
Israel’s air force carried out intense airstrikes on mountains overlooking a city in southern Lebanon Friday in an attack that the Israeli military said targeted underground assets of militant Hezbollah group.
Shortly afterward, another strike hit a building killing one person and wounding 11.
The airstrike on an apartment in a building in the city of Nabatieh left one woman dead and 11 wounded and knocked out the top floor, according to state media and an Associated Press journalist at the scene.
It was not immediately clear if anyone was targeted in the building.
The airstrikes that happened nearly an hour before, came in two waves on the mountains overlooking Nabatieh and bunker buster bombs were used, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported. There was no immediate information about casualties.
Since the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in November, Israel has carried out almost daily airstrikes on southern Lebanon. 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.
There was no comment from Hezbollah.
Hezbollah suffered significant losses on the battlefield during the war, which left over 4,000 people dead in Lebanon and caused destruction worth $11 billions. In Israel, 127 people died, including 80 soldiers.
As part of the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was pushed away from areas bordering Israel in south Lebanon and is not allowed to have an armed presence south of the Litani River.
Friday’s airstrikes were north of the river.
