Israeli airstrikes late on Saturday targeted a depot storing ammunition for Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

The strikes occurred in the town of Adloun, located about 40 kilometers north of Lebanon's border with Israel, causing a series of loud explosions that reverberated throughout the region.

Four civilians in Adloun were reported wounded, according to security and medical sources.

The airstrikes coincided with Israeli fighter jets targeting Houthi military positions in Yemen's port city of Hodeidah, an action Hezbollah condemned as ushering in a 'new and dangerous phase' in the region.

The strikes follow a series of escalating confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah, marked by increased hostilities since October 7, triggered by an attack on southern Israeli communities by Hamas.
