After Netanyahu's peace declaration, Israel launches new attacks in Lebanon

Israel launched new strikes against Hezbollah rocket launch sites in Lebanon on Thursday evening, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Lebanon's National News Agency reported multiple airstrikes on locations in southern Lebanon over the past hour.

Before the attacks, the IDF issued a warning to Israeli residents that other areas "may come under (Hezbollah) fire in the coming hours."

The new attacks come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had instructed his government to "open direct negotiations" with Lebanon, but declared there would be no ceasefire with Hezbollah in the country, even as he pushes for the start of talks.
