The IDF confirms carrying out a wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon a short while ago, saying it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure.
The strikes carried out by fighter jets hit a facility near the Beaufort Castle, which the IDF says was used by Hezbollah to manage rocket fire and defenses.
At the site, the IDF says, it struck “terrorists, weapons, and tunnel shafts.”
“This site is part of a significant underground project that, due to IDF strikes, has been rendered inoperable,” the army says.
The IDF adds that the facility and the activities carried out there “constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
