💥 EXTENSIVE IDF STRIKES TARGET HEZBOLLAH AND IRGC INFRASTRUCTURE IN BEIRUT: The IDF carried out extensive air and naval strike waves in the Beirut area against Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure.
Approximately 70 terrorist targets were struck, including weapons storage facilities, central headquarters, buildings used by Hezbollah for terrorist purposes, and the IRGC Air Force headquarters in the heart of Beirut. The IDF says Hezbollah embeds its terrorist infrastructure within civilian areas of the city.
Around 200 munitions were used in the strikes from air and sea platforms. The IDF says it evacuated residents from the Dahieh district over the past week to help ensure their safety.
Several senior terrorists were eliminated in the area, including Adham Adnan al-Othman, commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization in the Lebanon arena, Zaid Ali Juma, responsible for Hezbollah’s firepower array and artillery commander in southern Lebanon, and five senior commanders in the IRGC Quds Force Lebanon Corps and Palestine Corps.
🎯 IRGC MISSILE UNIT OPERATIONS COMMANDER ELIMINATED IN BEIRUT: Earlier this week, the IDF struck and eliminated Abu Dharr Mohammadi, the operations commander in the IRGC missile unit within Hezbollah in Beirut.
The IDF says Mohammadi was a central figure in military coordination between Hezbollah and senior Iranian officials. He also played a key role in Hezbollah’s missile force build-up and in efforts to rehabilitate the program following Operation Northern Arrows.
According to the IDF, Mohammadi led planning and operations for Hezbollah’s missile branch and supported missile launch planning toward Israel during Operation Northern Arrows and Operation Roaring Lion. The military describes him as an authority on Hezbollah’s strategic weapons.
⚠️ DEFENSE MINISTER WARNS LEBANON OVER HEZBOLLAH ATTACKS: Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel may take the territory itself if Lebanon does not prevent Hezbollah from attacking.
"Hezbollah launched heavy barrages toward the State of Israel yesterday. The IDF responded forcefully in the Dahiyeh and against Hezbollah targets across Lebanon," Katz said during an assessment with senior IDF officers.
"I warned the president of Lebanon that if the Lebanese government does not know how to control the territory and prevent Hezbollah from threatening the northern communities and firing toward Israel, we will take the territory and do it ourselves," he said.
Katz also said that he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to prepare for an expansion of IDF activity in Lebanon and to restore calm and security to the northern communities.
