The IDF confirms launching airstrikes on Hezbollah fuel depots in northeastern Lebanon earlier today.
In a statement, the IDF says the fuel sites were located within Hezbollah military compounds belonging to the terror group’s Unit 4400, which is tasked with delivering weapons from Iran and its proxies to Lebanon.
“These sites provided fuel for vehicles in the service of the terror organization and served as a significant means of operating its military infrastructure,” the IDF says.
According to the military, the fuel at the depots was provided by Iran.
“Iran finances more than half of Hezbollah’s budget, via the [IRGC’s] Quds Force, which transports oil and money through various routes to Lebanon,” the IDF says.
