The Israeli military has released the latest video footage of its now daily attacks on southern Lebanon, reporting that jet fighters carried out overnight raids on targets in the vicinity of Maroun el-Ras and Markaba villages, Al Jazeera reports.

Grainy footage accompanying a post on social media showed buildings and other structures being destroyed in huge blasts following apparent missile attacks from the air.

Israeli artillery also shelled “several areas” in Lebanon to “remove a threat”, Israel’s military said, describing the targets as “terrorist infrastructures” of the Hezbollah movement.
