The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says that 100 fighter jets carried out an "extensive aerial operation", targeting Hezbollah units in south Lebanon. It says targets include regional units of Hezbollah's elite Radwan force, missiles and rockets force and the intelligence directorate.

Israel reported the launch of rocket salvos by the Lebanese group Hezbollah on Tuesday as Tel Aviv pressed ahead with its air and ground attacks on Lebanon. A military statement said around 85 rockets were fired towards Haifa and Krayot settlement in northern Israel with some of the projectiles intercepted.

At least five people were injured overnight in the northern Israeli city of Haifa in a barrage of rockets launched from Lebanon as Hezbollah and Israel traded attacks with IDF warplanes striking across Lebanon.
