Israel airstrikes target Hezbollah on same day as pager attack

The Israeli military has released footage showing targeted airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon on Tuesday, the same day as the now infamous mass pager explosions which wounded over 2,000 Hezbollah operatives and killed nine people, including an eight-year-old girl. The strikes reportedly targeted military structures operated by Hezbollah militants in areas such as Majdal Selm, Ayta al-Shaab, and Markaba.

Tuesday’s events mark a serious escalation of the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel, which began after Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
