Israeli fighter jets struck overnight several Hezbollah weapon manufacturing sites and command centers belonging to the terror group’s intelligence division and air defense unit in Beirut, the IDF says.

All of the Hezbollah assets were located inside or below buildings “in the heart of a civilian population,” the military says, accusing Hezbollah of using human shields.

Before the strikes, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.
