According to the IDF, the warehouse where the anti-aircraft missiles were stored was located some 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) from Beirut’s airport.
“The surface-to-air missiles are a threat to the international airspace for passenger planes and can hit any aircraft flying in the Lebanese airspace,” the military says.
The IDF says it has hit other facilities used by Hezbollah anti-air unit across Lebanon in recent days.
