The Israeli Air Force carried out strikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs known as Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah stronghold, a short while ago.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, in a statement, say that the strikes targeted Hezbollah command centers.

They say the strikes come as a response to the terror group’s rocket fire on northern Israel this morning.

Israeli leaders vowed that the IDF would strike in Beirut if Hezbollah attacked Israel during the ostensible ceasefire.

The IDF, in its own statement, says it is striking Hezbollah infrastructure in the Dahiyeh, with further details to be provided later.
