The IDF reports that it has struck some 800 Hezbollah targets throughout southern Lebanon and the Bekaa region today.
The IDF struck some 800 Hezbollah targets today (Monday) throughout southern Lebanon and the Bekaa region, in what is the most intense, concentrated aerial bombardment of the war so far.
The strikes were carried out in a number of waves and based on precise intelligence, targeting structures where Hezbollah hid rockets, missiles, launchers, drones, and other military infrastructure.
Watch:
Lebanese civilians are fleeing areas of southern Lebanon beyond the immediate border area.
The IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari explained that Hezbollah was preparing to fire on Israel from the area, and he warned civilians who were near its weapons caches: “Get away from there, for the sake of your safety and security. Hezbollah intends to fire those munitions toward Israeli territory, and we will not allow this.”" Hagari added that Israel “will do whatever is needed to return the residents of the north home safe ... We are preparing to strike terror targets in the Beqaa Valley in the near future. Hezbollah stores strategic weapons there, in civilian buildings, and uses the population as a human shield and knowingly puts it in danger.”
Hagari added that “every home” hit by the Israeli Air Force today was used by Hezbollah to store weapons, as reported by The Times of Israel.
he also said that “The sights that are now seen in southern Lebanon are Hezbollah’s weapons exploding inside houses. Every home we struck, there are rockets, drones, missiles, which were intended to kill Israeli civilians.”
