The spokesperson for the Israeli Army, Avichay Adraee, announced via X that the Israeli army carried out the largest strike across Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion.

 

 

He continued: "Over 10 minutes and simultaneously in several areas, the Defense Forces carried out a strike targeting about 100 Hezbollah military headquarters and infrastructure. The Defense Forces have just completed a large-scale operation against Hezbollah military headquarters and infrastructure across Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon. This strike is considered the largest against Hezbollah infrastructure since the start of Operation Roaring Lion."

He stated: "In this strike, the Defense Forces targeted headquarters, command and control centers, and Hezbollah’s military systems."

 

 

  • Intelligence headquarters and central agencies used by Hezbollah operatives to direct and plan attacks against the Defense Forces and the citizens of Israel. 
  • Infrastructure for Hezbollah’s artillery and naval systems responsible for launching missiles at the Defense Forces on land and sea, as well as at Israeli territory. 
  • Assets belonging to Hezbollah’s Radwan Force and Aerial Unit 127, which are among its elite units. 

 

 

Adraee said: "This strike relied on precise intelligence and was carefully planned over many weeks by the Operations Directorate, the Intelligence Directorate, the Air Force, and the Northern Command, with the aim of intensifying the blow against Hezbollah."

 

 

He continued: "Most of the structures targeted were located in the heart of civilian areas, reflecting Hezbollah’s use of Lebanese civilians as human shields to protect its activities. Measures were taken before the strikes to minimize harm to non-combatants as much as possible."

 

 

He added: "Hezbollah has chosen to join the battle and operate under the auspices of the Iranian regime, harming the state of Lebanon and its citizens. The state of Lebanon and its citizens must oppose Hezbollah’s placement in civilian areas and its efforts to arm itself militarily."
