Defense Minister Israel Katz confirms that the IDF is striking Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, saying a precision missile manufacturing facility in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley was targeted.
The site, Hezbollah’s largest weapons production plant, has been targeted several times by the IDF, including since the November ceasefire.
According to Katz, several other sites where Hezbollah was working to restore its capabilities were also targeted.
“Any attempt by the terrorist organization to restore, reestablish itself, or pose a threat will be met with uncompromising force,” Katz adds.
