Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck several Hezbollah weapon manufacturing and maintenance sites, along with an arms depot, in Beirut, the IDF says.

The IDF has issued evacuation orders for three buildings in Beirut ahead of the strikes.

Additionally, in the past day, the military says the Israeli Air Force killed some 70 Hezbollah operatives and hit around 120 sites belonging to the terror group in Lebanon.

Among the targets was a site used by Hezbollah’s drone unit, and a cell of operatives from the unit, the IDF says.
