As skirmishes between Israeli forces and Lebanese militants continue, Iranian-backed Hezbollah has released a video showing key Israeli sites, Iranian state media reported early Sunday (June 23). Press TV reported that the sites were identified as Israeli key sites known only to Israeli security services.
The video was released just days after Hezbollah released footage of a reconnaissance plane flying over a large area of ​​Israel.
The extremist group said the video was just the first of what was to come.
What is the Israeli site shown in the video?
Locations shown in the latest video include the Dimona Nuclear Reactor Research Center in Israel's Negev Desert, Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv and Nevatim Air Base.
Also on display are the Hakiriya complex in Tel Aviv, which houses Israel's Ministry of Security and Ramat David Air Base, and the Kalis gas field off the coast of Lebanon.
Hezbollah has been engaged in an artillery exchange with Israel for more than eight months, in parallel with the Gaza war that began in early October last year.
Israel attacks Hezbollah base in Lebanon
Hezbollah's latest footage came hours after the Israeli army released a video showing attacks on Hezbollah targets in various parts of southern Lebanon, amid fears of further escalation of tensions across the border.

A caption in a Telegram post accompanying the footage said the attacks targeted an observation post in Aita ash-Shab and a military facility in Yaroun, and the Israeli army said militants had operated from both buildings.
“In addition, Israeli Air Force warplanes struck Hezbollah military facilities in the Ramieh district of southern Lebanon. The IDF bombarded the Aita ash-Shab, Jibain and Tarouseh districts throughout the day to eliminate the threat,” the Telegram caption read.
