After issuing evacuation warnings, the IDF says it carried out a series of airstrikes against Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon’s coastal city of Tyre.

In a statement, the IDF says the Hezbollah targets included weapons depots, buildings used by the terror group, and observation posts belonging to various Hezbollah units.

“The Hezbollah terror organization advanced terror activities against Israeli citizens and IDF troops from these compounds,” the military says.

The IDF says Tyre is a major Hezbollah stronghold, especially for the terror group’s Aziz regional unit, from which it plans attacks on Israel.
