IDF says it struck Hezbollah weapon depots in south Lebanon

The IDF says it has completed a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah weapon depots in southern Lebanon.

The strikes were carried out after the military issued evacuation warnings for residents of the southern Lebanon villages of Jbaa, Mahrouna, Mjadel, and Baraachit.

The IDF says the weapon depots were placed “in the heart of the civilian population,” and they “constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

“This is yet another example of Hezbollah’s cynical use of Lebanese civilians as human shields, and continued operations from within civilian areas,” the military says.
