Israel Defence Force reveals they are striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has revealed it is striking Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and has not yet given any further information.

It was earlier reported that Israeli air strikes targeted two villages in southern Lebanon in the early hours of this morning.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said that it carried out attacks on Israeli military posts along the Israel-Lebanon border yesterday.

Hezbollah - like Hamas - has been designated a terrorist organisation by the UK, US and other countries.

Backed by Iran, it has a strong military and political presence in Lebanon and wields considerable power in a country without a functioning government or president
