In a targeted operation, Israel Air Force (IAF) fighter jets launched airstrikes on multiple Hezbollah weapons storage facilities located in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley. The IDF reported that secondary explosions witnessed during the strikes indicated the presence of significant quantities of weaponry within these facilities.
Following the attacks, residents of cities and towns in northern Israel have been instructed to remain close to shelters as a precautionary measure, as reported by Israeli media. As part of the operation, the IAF also targeted terrorist Hussein Ali Hussein in the vicinity of Deir Qanoun in southern Lebanon. Hussein had been actively involved in Hezbollah's rocket and missile unit in the Yarine area.
The recent clashes between Hezbollah and other armed groups in Lebanon and Israel have been occurring simultaneously with the ongoing war in Gaza. While Israeli strikes have frequently targeted Hezbollah fighters and rocket launch sites over the past 10 months, attacks on weapons depots have been comparatively rare.
Moreover, earlier on the same day, IDF forces successfully identified a terrorist cell operating from a Hezbollah military structure in Taybe, located in southern Lebanon. IAF fighter jets swiftly struck the structure, neutralizing the threat posed by these terrorists.
The heightened tensions in the region have prompted Israel to take proactive measures in protecting its national security interests. The Israeli government has repeatedly stressed its commitment to preventing any potential threats from materializing, both within its borders and along its neighboring territories.
As the situation continues to evolve, it remains crucial for all parties involved to exercise restraint and prioritize diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict. The international community continues to monitor the developments closely, with hopes of finding a peaceful resolution and restoring stability in the region.
