The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday said that its fighter jets targeted Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters and other terrorist sites in Beirut, Lebanon.
In a video shared, IDF said, “the strikes included reconnaissance facilities, munitions warehouses, and various military buildings within the city and its outskirts.”
The IDF also said that secondary explosions were observed during the attacks, confirming the presence of stored weapons.
The military accused Hezbollah of hiding its assets beneath residential buildings, thereby endangering civilians.
IDF in its X post said, “The terrorist organization Hezbollah places its headquarters and means of warfare under residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut and endangers the population in the area.
"Warplanes, under the direction of the Northern Command, attacked terrorist targets of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in southern Lebanon and in the Bekaa in deep Lebanon, including munitions warehouses, military buildings, a headquarters and a launcher. Fighter planes continue to attack Lebanon even at this time,” IDF said.
