The Israeli Air Force has struck more than 100 Hezbollah sites in Beirut in the past two weeks, according to the military.
The IDF says the sites have included weapon depots, weapon manufacturing plants, and command centers.
The military in recent months identified Hezbollah moving weapons and manufacturing equipment from southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley to Beirut’s southern suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold known as Dahiyeh.
The IDF believes that Hezbollah moved the assets in an attempt to prevent Israel from targeting them, as until recently, Israel largely refrained from strikes in Beirut. Such strikes have now become a daily occurrence.
