Israeli fighter jets carried out a series of airstrikes on Hezbollah sites in Beirut’s southern suburbs earlier today, the IDF says.

According to the military, the targets included command centers, weapon manufacturing plans, and other military infrastructure.

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

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