In response to Hezbollah’s rocket barrage on northern Israel last night, the IDF says it struck weapons depots and command centers in the coastal Lebanese city of Tyre, as well as sites and an operative in Beirut.
The military says the Hezbollah sites in Tyre were “deliberately embedded within the civilian population.”
The IDF says that in Beirut, the Air Force struck facilities of the Al-Qard al-Hasan association, which is known to be used by the terror group as a quasi-bank.
The Israeli Navy, meanwhile, carried out a strike on a “key” Hezbollah operative in the Lebanese capital, the military says, without providing further details.
In southern Lebanon, a strike was carried out against a headquarters of the Imam Hossein Division, an Iranian militia which operates alongside Hezbollah, the army adds.
