Overnight, the IDF says it struck a Hezbollah naval base in Beirut, among other targets.

According to the military, the base was used by Hezbollah to store fast boats, carry out tests, and train its naval forces.

Additional strikes in Beirut overnight hit weapons depots, command centers, and other infrastructure, some of which were underground, the IDF says.

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

Elsewhere in Lebanon, the military says it struck three command centers belonging to Hezbollah’s aerial forces, known as Unit 127, responsible for drone attacks on Israel.

The strikes comes as ground forces continue to operate against the terror group in southern Lebanon.
