The Israel Defense Forces announced it had carried out more than 150 strikes in Lebanon since midnight Friday, and released footage of the operations. The strikes are part of a sustained campaign of pressure following Hezbollah fire, and follow an earlier reported wave of 80+ strikes on June 13-14.
The IDF on Friday afternoon stated it had conducted more than 150 airstrikes across Lebanon since midnight — by far the highest reported single-day tally in the current round of escalation. The military also published footage of the strikes.
The figure follows an earlier IDF wave of more than 80 strikes on the night of June 13-14, as The Zioneer reported at the time. Friday's pace marks a significant acceleration and indicates a sustained, high-tempo air campaign.
The strikes come against the backdrop of continued Hezbollah fire at Israeli communities, though the military has not specified the breakdown of targets or areas hit. Casualty figures from the strikes have not been released, and the reports remain unverified by independent sources. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, over a dozen people were killed in morning strikes across Lebanon, according to a single source.
