Hezbollah unit responsible for smuggling weapons from Iran targeted in latest Beirut strikes — IDF

The IDF says it carried out airstrikes against 12 Hezbollah command centers in Beirut’s southern suburbs a short while ago.

According to the military, the command rooms belonged to Hezbollah’s intelligence division, coast-to-sea missile unit, and Unit 4400, the latter of which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran to Lebanon.

The Hezbollah sites were located “in the heart of a civilian population,” the IDF says, accusing the terror group of using human shields.

Before the strikes, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.
