Overnight, Israeli fighter jets struck a series of Hezbollah targets in Beirut, the IDF says.

According to the military, the targets included Hezbollah command rooms and other military infrastructure.

The Hezbollah sites were located “in the heart of a civilian population,” the military says, accusing the terror group of using human shields.

Before the strikes, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.
