In a series of overnight airstrikes on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted several Hezbollah command centers and weapons manufacturing sites in Dahieh, a stronghold of the militant group in Beirut, Lebanon.

The strikes were carried out by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) in retaliation for growing security concerns along Israel’s northern border.

The military emphasized that these Hezbollah sites, which were located within a civilian area, posed a significant risk to nearby civilians, and as a precaution, advanced warnings were issued to mitigate potential harm to non-combatants.

The IDF’s airstrikes, which were based on intelligence gathered by Israeli military operatives, specifically focused on dismantling Hezbollah’s military infrastructure in the Lebanese capital.

The group, which is designated a terrorist organization by Israel, has long been a source of tension between Lebanon and Israel.

According to the IDF, these facilities were deeply embedded within densely populated urban areas, increasing the potential for civilian casualties.

In line with international military protocols, the IDF’s operation aimed to minimize civilian harm through prior notifications and strategic targeting.

These strikes are part of a broader military campaign in which the IDF has been targeting terror infrastructure linked to Hezbollah and Hamas.

According to an early Saturday operational update, the IDF reported that over 50 terror sites had been targeted since Friday morning, including both weapons storage facilities and military structures in both Gaza and Lebanon.

In the Gaza Strip, the IDF continued its strikes against Hamas, the Palestinian militant group. The Israeli military reported hitting over 50 terror targets, with a particular focus on Hamas infrastructure in the northern Gaza region.

In Jabalya, a Hamas stronghold in northern Gaza, dozens of militants were reportedly killed, and an important weapons storage facility was dismantled by IDF soldiers.

Additionally, IDF forces conducted operations in Rafah, a southern Gaza city known for being a hub of militant activity, where more Hamas military sites were destroyed.

The IDF confirmed that key terror targets, including rocket launchers, weapons stockpiles, and command centers, were successfully neutralized during these raids.

The ongoing military campaign follows heightened tensions and a surge in cross-border attacks between Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

The strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon come at a time when tensions have been rising in the region, with both the Israeli and Lebanese governments on high alert.

The IDF’s focus on dismantling terror infrastructure in both Gaza and Lebanon reflects its strategy of preemptive action aimed at reducing the threat posed by these militant groups.

The IDF’s continued operations against terrorist targets are part of Israel’s broader security efforts to safeguard its citizens from rocket attacks and other forms of military aggression from both Hamas and Hezbollah.

As the situation in both Gaza and southern Lebanon remains volatile, the IDF is expected to continue its efforts to degrade the operational capabilities of these groups while also taking steps to minimize civilian casualties wherever possible.

The violence in Gaza and Lebanon has sparked international concern, with calls for de-escalation and increased efforts to protect civilian populations in conflict zones.

However, the IDF has maintained that its actions are necessary for national security, citing the ongoing threat posed by Hezbollah and Hamas.
