21/7/2024 6:34

        Israeli strikes late on
        Saturday targeted a depot storing ammunition belonging to
        Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, three
        security sources told Reuters.
        
        The strikes on the town of Adloun, about 40 km (25 miles)
        north of Lebanon's border with Israel, set off a string of loud
        explosions heard by witnesses across the south of Lebanon.
        
        At least four civilians in Adloun were wounded in the
        strikes, a medical source and a security source told Reuters.
        
        The strikes on South Lebanon were on the same day that
        Israeli fighter jets struck Houthi military targets in the area
        of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah, which Hezbollah said will mark
        a "new and dangerous phase" in the region.
        
        Israel launched the strikes on Yemen a day after a drone
        launched by the Iranian-backed Houthis hit Israel's economic hub
        Tel Aviv
        
        Israel and Hezbollah have been trading fire since Hezbollah
        announced a "support front" with Palestinians shortly after its
        ally Hamas attacked southern Israeli border communities on Oct.
        7, triggering Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
