IDF says recent wave of Beirut airstrikes targeted Hezbollah intel sites

The IDF says it carried out a wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah intelligence division sites in the Lebanese capital of Beirut a short while ago.

Overnight, several more strikes were carried out in Beirut, which according to the military targeted weapon depots, command rooms, and other infrastructure.

The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strikes, including using “precision munitions,” aerial surveillance, and issuing evacuation orders.

Meanwhile, some 60 rockets were fired at northern Israel earlier today in two barrages at the Galilee, the IDF says.

Many of the rockets were intercepted, but some impacted in Karmiel and Deir al-Asad, lightly wounding three and causing damage.
