💥 IDF STRIKES IN BEIRUT: The IDF has begun striking Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in Beirut.
Lebanese media reported an Israeli airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, after the IDF reiterated an evacuation warning for the area ahead of the strikes.
❗️ IDF SAYS HEZBOLLAH IS OPERATING FROM CHRISTIAN VILLAGES: According to declassified IDF intelligence, Hezbollah has seized control of the Christian village of Qawzah in southern Lebanon and has begun launching terror attacks from within it.
The attacks include rocket and missile launches as well as anti-tank fire from the village.
The IDF says it has identified in recent months that Hezbollah is strategically embedding itself in Christian villages and carrying out terror attacks from within them, assuming those areas provide protection from IDF strikes.
Earlier this week, the IDF revealed Hezbollah activity and terrorist infrastructure beneath a church in a southern Lebanon village.
The IDF says Hezbollah’s activity from within civilian areas endangers local residents.
It adds that Hezbollah has dragged the State of Lebanon into war on behalf of the Iranian terror regime, choosing terrorism over prosperity.
The IDF emphasizes that its operations are directed against terrorist threats and says it will continue acting to eliminate any threat to the State of Israel while taking all possible measures to mitigate harm to civilians.
🎯 DOZENS OF HEZBOLLAH OPERATIVES ELIMINATED IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: Dozens of Hezbollah operatives were killed in one area of southern Lebanon during ground operations in recent days, according to the military.
In one incident, troops of the Givati Brigade spotted two Hezbollah cells and within minutes directed artillery fire at them, killing at least six operatives.
In another incident, the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit identified two Hezbollah gunmen who had fired on Israeli forces.
The IDF says it struck them with tank fire and a drone strike, killing both.
The 91st “Galilee” Regional Division also demolished Hezbollah surveillance posts in its area of operations.
🎯 IDF OPERATIONS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON: The 36th Division has been operating for several weeks in southern Lebanon.
Over the past day, dozens of Hezbollah operatives were eliminated after being identified attempting to carry out ambushes.
One operative was identified armed with an RPG while preparing to fire toward IDF soldiers and was eliminated before carrying out the attack.
Troops also apprehended a Hezbollah operative who was observing the soldiers and transferred him for further questioning.
The forces dismantled weapon storage facilities containing numerous weapon caches, command centers, and a launcher that had fired toward Israeli territory.
Among the weapons located were military vests, helmets, and a loaded RPG.
The IDF says it will continue to operate decisively against Hezbollah, which it says chose to join the hostilities under the auspices of the Iranian regime.
It says it will not allow harm to Israeli civilians.
