IDF says it struck Hezbollah weapons depot in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF says its fighter jets bombed a Hezbollah facility in Lebanon’s eastern Beqaa Valley a short while ago. The strike is separate from the one it carried out in the southern Lebanese village of Toul.
The Beqaa Valley site contained rocket launchers and other weapons, according to the military. Hezbollah activity was identified at the facility, and therefore it was struck, the IDF says.
Additionally, the IDF says it struck Hezbollah rocket launchers in southern Lebanon.
The military says the presence of weapons and activity by Hezbollah “constitutes a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
