Hezbollah precision missile plant hit in massive pre-truce bombardment — IDF

Overnight before the ceasefire, the Israeli Air Force struck dozens of Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, including a major precision missile site, according to the IDF.

Several waves of strikes, targeting some 330 Hezbollah sites, were carried out yesterday and into the night, right up until the ceasefire took effect at 4 a.m.

One of the strikes overnight in the Beqaa Valley, close to the Syrian border, targeted an underground Hezbollah precision-guided missile manufacturing and storage site.

The IDF says it spent several hours bombing the underground kilometer-long site, along with an adjacent Radwan Force base where it estimates that several dozen Hezbollah operatives were killed.

Another strike shortly after midnight hit a border crossing between Syria and Lebanon, which the IDF says was used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons. Syrian media reported six dead in the strike.

Among the 330 Hezbollah sites struck on the day before the ceasefire, 42 were in Beirut, according to the military.

The IDF says that another strike yesterday killed the operations chief of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, known as Unit 127, which is responsible for drone and cruise missile attacks on Israel.
