"Wave of Israeli airstrikes targets areas across south Lebanon"

This is the headline from an article from the Lebanese news site "Narnet" and also sourcing the AFP. Apparently as predicted the IDF is not limiting its' actions to just the 5 hills they refused to leave.

Also of note is an incident at a Lebanese town on the border where : "In the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal, Israeli soldiers opened fired at the town's east, to terrify residents, while a group of Israeli settlers entered the outskirts of the Lebanese border town of Houla." Interesting that a group of Israeli "settlers" would feel some "need" to cross the border into a Lebanese town.

Instead, you spin the headline way out of context.

Meanwhile, from Naharnet, the source you are referring to:

"A short while ago, the IDF (Israeli army) conducted intelligence-based strikes on military sites in southern Lebanon belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in which weapons and rocket launchers belonging to Hezbollah were identified," the Israeli army said in a statement, adding that they "constituted a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."


And from your other source:
Israel army fires at civilians in Kfarkila, wounding 3.

Three people were wounded Friday when Israeli forces opened fire at them near the Kfarkila wall in south Lebanon.The gunfire wounded two members of the Hezbollah-affiliated Jihad al-Binaa Development Association and a Syrian man, the latter critically, the National News agency said.


Did it ever occur to you to ask what two known Hezbollah members and a Syrian were doing in a Southern Lebanese village only 1/4 mile away from Israeli border?

BTW, Kfar Kila is one of the strategic outposts you falsely claim IDF is going beyond:
The five outposts will be located on the Lebanese side of the border running from west to east near: 1) Levona (near Shlomi on the Israeli side); 2) Ramia/Jabal Blat (Shtula); 3) Bleideh, Bint Jbeil, and Maroun a-Ras (Avivim); 4) Wadi Saluki (Margaliot); and 5) El Hiam, Kfar Kila, Ayoun Valley, and Aamra (Metulla).
