The IDF confirms carrying out additional airstrikes in the Baalbek area in northeastern Lebanon, targeting what it says are two Hezbollah command centers.

“Hezbollah used these sites to store significant assets used to strengthen its weapons arsenal,” the IDF says.

The strikes were carried out in response to a barrage of some 100 rockets on northern Israel earlier today.

The IDF also says it targeted a building used by Hezbollah in Khiam and additional infrastructure in Bint Jbeil earlier. It publishes footage of those strikes.
