Israeli Jets Strike Twice Into Lebanon

Israeli warplanes launched two waves of raids on suspected Hezbollah guerrilla targets in Lebanon, the Israeli army said. Hours after Israeli planes launched strikes in the northeast near Syria, the farthest north Israel has struck into Lebanon this year, the air force launched a second sortie in the Ya’atar area, north of Israel’s self-declared “security zone” in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah wants to oust Israel from that 9-mile-wide zone it occupies. The Israeli army said the planes hit unspecified “terrorist targets” and gave no further details. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
