Two currency exchange stores in Beirut were bombed by the Israeli Air Force overnight, with the IDF saying they had been used to finance Hezbollah.

The military says it struck Boa Chance, owned by Hussein Ibrahim, and Trade Point International, which is owned by Mohamad Noureddine.

The two money exchange offices were struck after the IDF says it “identified that they continued transferring funds to Hezbollah that are used for terror activity.”

“Hezbollah’s systematic use of money exchange offices for terror financing and money laundering… is one of the primary methods for Hezbollah to finance and conceal Iranian funds,” the IDF says in a statement.
