IDF confirms airstrikes on Hezbollah ‘strategic weapons’ sites in south Lebanon, Beqaa Valley

The IDF confirms completing a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah’s “strategic weapons” manufacturing and storage infrastructure in southern Lebanon and in the eastern Beqaa Valley a short while ago.
The targets included a facility used to manufacture explosives and an underground site where Hezbollah built and stored precision-guided missiles, the army says.
The strikes were carried out after the IDF says it had identified efforts by Hezbollah to restore the sites. The facility in the Beqaa Valley has been targeted by the IDF several times before.
Hezbollah’s activities “constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon,” the IDF adds.
