IDF: Why we struck Hezbollah in Lebanon

The IDF explained the reason for its strike against Hezbollah in the Bekaa region today (Monday), saying that Hezbollah was attempting to rebuild terrorist infrastructure destroyed during the war, in contravention of the ceasefire agreement.

Here is the full statement:

"A short time ago, the IDF attacked infrastructure at a site for the production and storage of strategic weapons of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon.

"The IDF has identified that the Hezbollah terrorist organization continues to try to rehabilitate its activities at the site. In addition, military infrastructure of the organization in the Srifa area in southern Lebanon was attacked.

"These actions by Hezbollah terrorists at the site and the presence of weapons in the area constitute blatant violations of the ceasefire understanding between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will prevent any attempt by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to rehabilitate."
