The IDF says it carried out airstrikes a short while ago on Hezbollah targets in “several areas of Lebanon,” including a training compound used by the terror group’s elite Radwan Force.
According to the military, the site was used for training operatives, conducting live-fire drills and planning attacks against IDF forces and Israeli civilians.
The IDF says it also struck several Hezbollah weapons depots, additional terror infrastructure and military buildings used to “advance terror plots against IDF forces and the State of Israel.”

Lebanese media reports the strikes are concentrated in the northeastern region of Hermel. It is unclear if there were any casualties.
The military says the targets and Hezbollah’s ongoing training activity constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and pose a threat to Israel, adding that it will continue operating to remove any such threats.
