Fresh blasts heard in Lebanon as Israel vows to hit Hezbollah’s finance sites


Earlier in the day, the IDF said that dozens of projectiles were fired at northern Israel in the past 24 hours.

It also said that its warplanes conducted “an intelligence-based strike on a command centre of Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters and an underground weapons workshop in Beirut”.

It said steps had been taken to “reduce the possibility of civilian casualties”.

Israel has been accused by Hezbollah and Lebanese officials of targeting civilians, which it denies.

Earlier on Sunday, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) accused the IDF of deliberately demolishing an observation tower and perimeter fence of a UN position in the southern Lebanese town of Marwahin on the border with Israel. It follows similar incidents in recent weeks.

“Yet again, we note that breaching a UN position and damaging UN assets is a flagrant violation of international law and Security Council resolution 1701,” the Unifil said in a statement.
