Although still unconfirmed, it looks like Israeli planes have conducted raids against Hezbollah targets.

Several media outlets in both Lebanon and Israel are reporting about a series of air strikes conducted by Israeli warplanes in the evening of Feb. 24 on the Lebanese-Syrian border area.

Al-Arabiya TV quoted witnesses according to those โ€œmore than two Israeli airstrikes have targeted Hizbullah posts in the outskirts of the towns of Janta, Brital and al-Nabi Sheet,โ€ even if it is still unclear whether the airstrikes hit targets located inside Syria or Lebanon.

According to Lebanonโ€™s state-run National News Agency two Israeli airstrikes were conducted on โ€œthe outskirts of al-Nabi Sheet near the Lebanese-Syrian border,โ€ whereas LBCI TV said the Israeli planes struck targets โ€œin the countryside facing the towns of Janta and Yahfoufa,โ€ inside Syria.

Similar attacks were launched against Syrian targets in May 2013, one of those hit a convoy with weapons destined to Hezbollah near Damascus with PGMs (Precision Guided Munitions) and plenty of EW (Electronic Warfare) support.
