The IDF announces that overnight it struck several Hezbollah rocket and missile manufacturing sites in southern Lebanon at the Beqaa Valley, as part of efforts to prevent the Lebanese terror group from arming itself.

According to the military, Iran would smuggle Hezbollah weapons and components over Lebanon’s eastern border. The shipments would head to the manufacturing sites, where Hezbollah would build various weapons, including precision missiles.

The overnight strikes come after on Thursday, the IDF struck several routes and a bridge on the Lebanon-Syria border, that according to the military were used by Hezbollah to smuggle in weapons.

The IDF has vowed to prevent all arms shipments to Hezbollah.
