The IDF says it carried out strikes on Hezbollah weapons depots and other military infrastructure in southern Lebanon and deeper within the country earlier today, targeting sites allegedly used to support the terror group’s efforts to rebuild and prepare attacks against Israel.
According to the military, the strikes hit several weapons storage facilities and other infrastructure in southern Lebanon, as well as an underground arms depot deeper within Lebanese territory.
The IDF says it took steps to minimize civilian harm, including the use of precision munitions, advance warnings and aerial surveillance, adding that Hezbollah’s activity at the targeted sites violated the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
Shortly before the strikes, the IDF issued evacuation warnings for the towns of Machghara in the Western Beqaa District and south Lebanon’s Sohmor.
