The target of the Israeli airstrike in Beirut is the head of Hezbollah’s aerial forces, defense sources tell Israeli media.

Hezbollah’s aerial forces are responsible for the terror group’s drones, among other units.

The IDF has said it will provide further details on the “targeted strike” in the Lebanese capital soon.
