Israeli tanks gather near Lebanon border as IDF carries out raids on 'dozens' of Hezbollah targets

 Israeli tanks have gathered near the Lebanon border as the IDF carries out raids on Hezbollah targets, two days after the death of the group's chief Hassan Nasrallah.

The Israel Defence Forces 'attacked dozens of terrorist targets in the territory of Lebanon in the last few hours,' the army said in a statement on Telegram today.

The statement said the strikes targeted 'buildings where weapons and military structures of the organisation were stored'. 


Israel attacked 'hundreds' of Hezbollah targets in the last day, it added, as it aims to disable the group.

This weekend, Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant held talks over the possibility of expanding Israel's military offensive.

Tanks and troops were pictured on the border with Lebanon yesterday, and thwe IDF said three more battalions of reserve soldiers are being mobilised on top of the two brigades already sent to northern Israel.

It comes just a few days after Israeli strikes killed Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for more than three decades. Israeli media reported that the military used 85 'bunker-buster' bombs in the attack.

Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, the Iranian elite forces' deputy commander for operations, was in the bunker with the Hezbollah chief when the Israeli bombs hit and levelled several buildings, killing six and injuring nearly 100 people.
