Israeli forces continued their ongoing policy of striking terrorist bases in southern Lebanon, attacking targets north of the border security zone this week.

Israeli helicopters on Tuesday struck buildings north of the zone in Tibnit village, known to be a stronghold of the Iranian-backed Shi’ite Hezbollah organization.

According to reports from Lebanon, seven Lebanese residents were wounded in the attack on Tibnit and two guerrillas were killed during separate artillery attacks on other bases north of the security zone.
