A series of strikes hit the Beqaa Valley in northeastern Lebanon late on March 13, with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claiming responsibility.
Lebanon’s National News Agency said that the Israeli strikes hit Qusaya barrens and the area of Sha’ara-Janta in the eastern mountain range of Beqaa. The official news agency didn’t report any casualties, or provide any additional details on the attack.
In a brief statement, the IDF said that the strikes targeted a “strategic weapons” manufacturing and storage facility of Hezbollah.
“The IDF will continue to work to remove any threat to the State of Israel,” the military added.
Hebrew media said that the same facility, which is located close to the border Syria, was hit by the IDF more than once in the past. There was no response from Hezbollah.

A ceasefire agreement brokered by the United States last November was supposed to end all clashes on the Israeli-Lebanese border by February 18. However, the IDF continues to operate against Hezbollah under the pretext of neutralizing threats to Israel security. In addition, Israeli troops continued to be present at five strategic posts in southern Lebanon.
The latest strikes came as Israel and Lebanon are preparing to start talks to delineate the border between them with mediation from the U.S., France and the United Nations. A recent report by the Times of Israel revealed that the country is even aiming to establish full diplomatic relations with Lebanon.
Hezbollah was deeply weakened by the 14-month confrontation with Israel that it initiated in support of the Gaza Strip following the October 7 Hamas-led attack of 2023. Israel is now trying on capitalize on this by targeting what’s left of the group’s military capabilities while pressuring the Lebanese government into a peace deal.

any lie will do, any excuse will do so the jews can continue their crime against humanity. n b the world will be a better place with no jews in it!
every time they hit something “it is strategic importance to hezbollah”. lie, lie, lie, lie some more and lie again.
this “ceasefire” is the sort of “ceasefire” they expect putin to accept in ukraine.
there is no agreed contract . it will require great humility of many nations and international mafia interests . so embarrassing will it be .
damn the jews have literally destroyed all of their enemies in the middle east, the chick that goes by “syrian girl” was crying and saying how its the end of her country and that the “axis of resistance” is over. israel is literally slaughtering their enemies and now are sending the palestinians to some shitty third world african nations.
don’t worry, the jews are making plenty of fresh enemies along the way.
doesn’t worry hook noses and inbreds. everyone else are just talking animals and shit to them
remember when you losers said hezbollah had 100,000 missiles aimed at israel?
heheheh
i hope they still have them, and actually use them.
lebanon under aoun is in danger of going the same way even against the backdrop of continuous zionist aerial and drone attacks. hezbollah, the only real bulwark against zionist expansion into lebanon can only ly hope to develop effective ground to air defence capabilities in tandem with their ongoing ballistic missle deterrence to effectively stop the zionists from absorbing parts of lebanon being subsumed into their plans for an expanded entity.
all the world is in danger . all people are in danger . it is always worse than you might think . hasbara works .
while true to write that “hezbollah was deeply weakened by the 14-month confrontation with israel”, this result was due to the half-heartedness of both nasrallah et al and iran’s leaders; due also to the lack of any clear strategic aim of the axis of resistance. they wanted to bet two bob each way, so lost both. zionist entity may seek not just denuclearisation of iran but regime change; such is the price of defeat. it pays to win.
the faults and destruction by zionist interests must always be deflected and blamed on others by shifting discussion . i have read hasbara guides .
israel , a word i wish i never heard . an abomination .
hezbollah has between 50000-80000 soldiers and they have lost a maximum of 1500 soldiers, so how can one speak of being weakened? the problem that hezbollah has is the lebanese regime which consists almost exclusively of traitors and a large part of the citizens do not understand what hezbollah is fighting for, it is similar to syria where people now regret that assad is gone, without hezbollah lebanon would have long been under occupation of the israeli terrorists.
