14 Israeli strikes hit south Lebanon

Lebanese security sources say Israel conducted 14 strikes in the Nabatiyeh area in south Lebanon.

BEIRUT - Israel conducted 14 strikes in the Nabatiyeh area in south Lebanon on Thursday, two Lebanese security sources told Reuters, one of Israel's most intense bombardments since a ceasefire brokered by the US in November.

In April, Israel struck a southern Beirut building that it said it was being used to store precision missiles belonging to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.

Lebanon and Hezbollah had agreed to a ceasefire in November which halted the fighting and mandated that southern Lebanon be free of Hezbollah fighters and weapons.
