Lebanon state media reports new Israeli strikes in south after Netanyahu order

Lebanese state media reported a series of new Israeli strikes in at least four different locations in the country's south on Saturday, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his military to attack Lebanon.

The state-run National News Agency reported a pair of strikes in quick succession in a town in Bint Jbeil district, another on a town in Tyre district, and strikes on two more towns in Nabatieh district.

The Israeli military confirmed the strikes across southern Lebanon, claiming that it had struck Hezbollah infrastructure used for military purposes.
