IDF strikes Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon Thursday night, citing ‘direct threat’ to Israel
[IsraelTimes] Military says fighter jets hit terror group’s weapons storage sites and rocket launchers, which were operated in ‘blatant violation’ of agreements, as row emerges over withdrawal deadline

The Israel Defense Forces carried out Arclight airstrike

late Thursday night, saying it targeted Hezbollah terror group facilities.

The sites hit by fighter jets were used by Iran-backed Hezbollah to store weapons and launchers and had "posed a direct threat to the Israeli home front," the military said.

The strikes took place near the towns of Yohmor, Deir Siryan, Yater, and Zibqin in southern Lebanon, according to local reports.

According to the IDF, Hezbollah activity at the sites "constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."

The strikes came at the same time that pro-Hezbollah protesters — some hundreds, according to local reports cited in Hebrew media — clashed with the Lebanese army in Beirut, after aviation authorities reportedly informed an Iranian passenger flight that it would not be permitted to land in Lebanon, after the IDF said Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

was using such flights to smuggle cash to Hezbollah.

They also came amid clashing statements about the IDF’s future in southern Lebanon.

Israel said Thursday it would remain in five key points past the deadline for withdrawal stipulated by a November ceasefire agreement, and the US signaled support for the move. However,

peacekeepers as the Israeli army withdrew over a 60-day period, which was extended until February 18. Iran-backed Hezbollah was also meant to leave its positions in the south, near the Israeli border, over that period.

Under the ceasefire agreement, Israel is entitled to act against immediate threats posed by Hezbollah but must forward complaints about longer-term threats to an oversight committee composed of representatives from the US, La Belle France, Lebanon, and the international observer force UNIFIL.
