Some 280 Hezbollah sites in Beirut’s southern suburb have been struck by the Israeli Air Force amid the ongoing fighting, the military says.

According to the IDF, this means that twice as many Hezbollah sites were hit during the current conflict, as compared to the 2006 Second Lebanon War, when 140 sites were struck.

Three waves of strikes, targeting over 20 sites in Dahiyeh, were hit in the past day, according to the military.

Hezbollah has launched some 40 rockets at Israel today, half of which were intercepted, according to the IDF. Yesterday, the terror group launched some 250 rockets.
