Israeli warplanes struck a target in eastern Lebanon near the border with Syria on Monday, security sources said.
It was not immediately known what the target was or the exact location of the air strike, which occurred in a mountainous area near the border.
The Israeli army declined to comment but an Israeli security source confirmed that there has been “unusually intense air force activity in the north,” referring to Lebanon.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
