Earlier today (Tuesday), with the direction of precise IDF intelligence, the IAF struck several weapons storage facilities belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the area of Dahieh, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut.

Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming civilians, including issuing advancing warnings to the population in the area.

This strike joins the efforts to damage Hezbollah's weapons storage and manufacturing facilities that are embedded beneath residential buildings in the heart of the city of Beirut, endangering the population in the area.

Over the past day, IDF troops continued their limited and targeted operational activity in southern Lebanon.

The troops eliminated dozens of terrorists from the air and ground and located several Hezbollah operational centers and weapons storage facilities in the area.

Additionally, the troops located a number of underground tunnel shafts, including shafts containing communication devices and a shaft used as a Hezbollah command and control center in southern Lebanon.
