IDF says it will launch strikes tonight on sites in Lebanon ‘used to finance Hezbollah’s terror activity’

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military will soon issue evacuation orders to civilians in Lebanon to distance themselves from Hezbollah banks and other finance-related sites used by the terror group, ahead of airstrikes.

“In a few minutes, we will issue early evacuation warnings to residents of Lebanon in Beirut and other areas, to evacuate from sites used to finance Hezbollah’s terror activity,” Hagari says.

“I stress here, that whoever is near the sites that are used to finance Hezbollah’s terror activity is required to distance themselves from them immediately,” he says.

“We will strike many sites in the coming hours, and more sites overnight. In the coming days, we will reveal how Iran finances Hezbollah’s terror activity using civilian institutions and associations as a cover,” Hagari continues.

“We will strike them tonight, and update with the results in the coming days,” he adds.

The strikes will target Al-Qard al-Hasan sites, an association known to be used by Hezbollah as a quasi-bank.
