IDF says it struck Hezbollah operatives trying to damage Lebanon’s largest dam

The IDF says it struck Hezbollah operatives who attempted to damage Lebanon’s largest dam in the Litani River’s Qaraoun Lake yesterday.

“Several Hezbollah operatives were observed earlier this week attempting to harm the activity of the Qaraoun Dam, which is considered national and strategic infrastructure of the Lebanese state, and they were attacked from the air,” says Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokeswoman.

Addressing Lebanese citizens, she says that Hezbollah, which has “led to the ruin and destruction of your country, attempted to harm strategic national infrastructure, the targeting of which would cause severe damage to the economy of Lebanon and the state itself.”

Waweya warns Hezbollah that the IDF “will not allow any attempt to harm the dam, and will act with great force against these attempts.”
