Israel has launched air strikes on southern Lebanon as Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah condemned this week’s fatal exploding devices attacks.
Israel confirmed fresh strikes on Lebanon before Israeli fighter jets could be heard flying over Beirut during Nasrallah’s televised speech.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces says it’s working to “degrade” Hezbollah’s "terrorist capabilities and infrastructure".
At least 37 people were killed and 2,600 injured after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies exploded on Tuesday and Wednesday in Lebanon, said Nasrallah.
Multiple sources say Israel’s Mossad spy agency was targeting Hezbollah; Israel hasn’t commented.
