The Israeli military plans to ramp up its strikes on Hezbollah assets in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.
Earlier this evening, the IDF said it was striking three buildings in the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut where Hezbollah stored Iranian anti-ship missiles. Other Hezbollah sites will also be hit in the Dahiyeh, military sources say.

It comes after the military carried out massive airstrikes on Hezbollah’s main headquarters in the Dahiyeh earlier on Friday, in an attack that targeted Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said earlier this evening that the military is still looking into the results of its strike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut, and would not be drawn on whether Nasrallah was killed. “We will update as soon as we know. Our strike was very accurate,” he said.

Until now, IDF strikes in Beirut had been “targeted assassinations” of top Hezbollah commanders. The latest strikes have been larger, and aimed at taking out infrastructure, along with top officials.
The coming days are expected to be complex, the military has assessed.
