The Israeli army announced on Saturday that it carried out an airstrike on a warehouse it claimed contained weapons belonging to Hezbollah in the Sajad area of southern Lebanon, indicating that the site posed a threat to its forces.

Israeli army spokesperson Eila Wawiya stated in a statement published on the "X" platform that the army attacked earlier on Saturday "a warehouse of combat means belonging to Hezbollah in the Sajad area in southern Lebanon."

According to the Israeli narrative, the airstrike came after monitoring combat means that the army said posed a threat to its forces operating in the area.

The statement added that the targeted warehouse contained combat means "that were used to target our forces operating in the security area and to hinder their activities."

The statement did not provide details regarding the nature of the weapons inside the warehouse or the extent of the damage caused by the raid, nor did it mention any casualties or injuries.

The Israeli army confirmed that it will continue to work to eliminate what it described as "immediate threats," warning that any use of force from Lebanese territory aimed at targeting Israelis or its forces "will be met with significant force."

At the same time, the army stated that it remains committed to the agreement between Israel and Lebanon.

The strike comes as part of a series of Israeli operations in southern Lebanon, amid ongoing field tensions and mutual accusations regarding violations of understandings and security arrangements in the region.

Israel claims that its operations target military sites, elements, and infrastructure belonging to Hezbollah and are aimed at removing threats to its forces and territory, while Lebanese authorities repeatedly emphasize the necessity of stopping Israeli strikes, withdrawing from Lebanese territory, and respecting Lebanese sovereignty.
