IDF says Beirut strike targeted Hezbollah’s main headquarters
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the Israeli Air Force struck Hezbollah’s main headquarters in the Lebanese capital of Beirut a short while ago.
Hagari says the center was built underneath civilian buildings in the Dahiyeh suburb, a known Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut.
The IDF spokesman does not mention whether Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was a target or was believed to be present at the site.
He says there are no changes to guidelines for Israeli civilians at this time.
Israel has eliminated much of the Hezbollah terror group’s most senior leadership in recent weeks.
Footage published by Lebanese media shows the massive strikes.
