Tyrus (AFP) – Israel has conducted air strikes hitting a Lebanese association linked to Hezbollah, accusing it on Monday of financing the group’s weapons, as it expands the scope of its raids beyond military targets. Israeli military chief Herzi Halevi says the country’s forces hit some 30 targets belonging to the Hezbollah-linked financial firm Al-Qard al-Hassan. The strikes mark an expansion of Israel’s nearly month-long war with Hezbollah, as it seeks to degrade the group’s ability to fund operations.
