Israeli jets and artillery hit multiple targets in southern Lebanon overnight, Israel's military said on Thursday, amid spiralling tensions following the mass attack on Hezbollah communications devices this week.
The latest series of blasts - targeting pagers and other electronic devices - killed 37 people and wounded 2,931 wounded, Lebanon's health ministry said on Thursday.
The Israeli military said air strikes hit Hezbollah targets in Chihine, Tayibe, Blida, Meiss El Jabal, Aitaroun and Kfarkela in southern Lebanon, as well as a Hezbollah weapons storage facility in the area of Khiam.
It comes amid huge regional concerns over an escalation of the conflict on the border with southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces have been exchanging fire with Hezbollah for months.
