IDF says 20 Hezbollah targets struck in Beirut within 2-minute span

The IDF says it struck 20 Hezbollah sites within two minutes in Beirut’s southern suburbs a short while ago.

The fast and extensive wave of airstrikes was carried out by eight fighter jets, according to the military.

Seven buildings targeted in the strikes were used by Hezbollah for the management and storage of funds, the IDF says, including headquarters, vaults and branches of the Al-Qard al-Hasan association, known to be used by Hezbollah as a quasi-bank.

The other 13 sites included a Hezbollah aerial forces center, an intelligence division command room, weapon depots, and other military infrastructure, the IDF adds.

Before the strikes were carried out, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the vicinity.

The military releases footage showing the strikes.
