The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated these actions aimed at underground Hezbollah drone factories. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam expressed their outrage at the attacks, which continued despite efforts to end a year-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, linked to the recent Gaza war.
