IDF says airstrikes in south Lebanon targeted Hezbollah infrastructure

The IDF says its wave of airstrikes in southern Lebanon this evening targeted Hezbollah infrastructure that was embedded within “the heart of the civilian population.”

Ahead of the strikes, the military issued evacuation warnings for residents of several towns in southern Lebanon.

According to the IDF, the strikes targeted Hezbollah weapon depots, including one located underground.

“The infrastructures that were struck were located in the heart of a civilian population. This is another example of the cynical use by the Hezbollah terror organization of Lebanese civilians as human shields and of the organization’s activity from within civilian assets,” the army says.

The IDF adds that Hezbollah’s activity at the sites constitutes a violation of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, and poses a threat to Israel.
