Israeli forces have launched raids on the towns of Markaba, al-Adisa, and Deir Siryan in southern Lebanon, an Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent reports.

Lebanese group Hezbollah meanwhile said it targeted Israeli spy equipment in the Ruwaisat al-Alam site in the Kafr Shuba Hills.

Since this morning, Hezbollah has bombed many Israeli settlements and sites with about 170 missiles in response to the Israeli forces’ assassination of four Hezbollah members on Tuesday, including a senior commander.
