Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

Israeli fighter jets struck this morning a command center belonging to Hezbollah’s intelligence division and an underground weapons manufacturing site in Beirut, the IDF says.

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

Separate strikes in southern Lebanon targeted and killed three prominent Hezbollah operatives.

The IDF names them as al-Hajj Abbas Salameh, a senior member of Hezbollah’s Southern Front; Reda Abbas Ouda, a communications specialist; and Ahmed Ali Hussain, responsible for weapons manufacturing.
