Israeli strikes target Rab Tlatine, prefabricated homes in Mhaibib

An Israeli strike targeted Thursday the southern town of Rab Tlatine, a day after the Israeli army said it killed three Hezbollah operatives in attacks on three different locations in south Lebanon.

An Israeli drone had also targeted overnight prefabricated residential units in the southern border town of Mhaibib.

Israel has kept up raids on Lebanon despite a November truce aiming to halt more than a year of hostilities with Hezbollah, including two months of full-blown war.

It says it is targeting Hezbollah members but more than 50 prefabricated residential units have been destroyed by Israeli strikes.

Such structures have usually been set up for returning residents whose homes were destroyed in the conflict and who desperately need a roof over their heads.

In addition to the three Israeli strikes on Wednesday, Hezbollah's al-Manar TV channel reported that an Israeli infantry force, protected by armored vehicles, entered on Wednesday night Lebanese territories in Hounine and south of Adaisseh.

Under the ceasefire, Hezbollah fighters were to pull back north of the Litani River and dismantle military infrastructure south of the river.

Israel was to withdraw all forces from Lebanon, but it has kept troops in five areas that it deems "strategic".
