IDF says overnight strikes hit Hezbollah command centers, infrastructure

The IDF says it struck Hezbollah command centers and other infrastructure in the southern Lebanon town of Ansar overnight, from which the terror group launched rockets at Israel.

After the rocket fire last night, and ahead of the strikes, the IDF issued an evacuation warning for residents of the town.

“The Hezbollah terror organization embeds terror infrastructure in civilian areas, thereby endangering the residents of Lebanon. The placement of launchers and firing from civilian areas in Lebanon constitutes a cynical exploitation of Lebanese residents to advance Hezbollah’s terror objectives,” the army says.

It publishes footage showing the strikes.
