Israel says it hit 140 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon in latest attacks

The Israeli military said on Saturday that it is continuing to attack Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and has hit 140 sites in a wave of attacks since last night.

The Israeli air force struck more than 140 positions of the Lebanese militant group including buildings where weapons were stored, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Some 100 missiles were fired towards Israel from neighbouring countries since the morning, the IDF said.

Hezbollah claimed responsibility for several attacks on Israel.

There have been repeated rocket alerts there, especially in the north, but according to Israeli and Palestinian reports, a rocket was also intercepted over the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Part of an exploded rocket hit a house in the Palestinian town of Huwara, according to Israeli media. There were initially no reports of injuries.
