Israel says it struck Hezbollah command centres in Beirut

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its air force recently completed a series of intelligence-based strikes targeting several command centres belonging to the Hezbollah militant group in Beirut, Lebanon.

"Among the command centers targeted was a command center used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s aerial unit," Caliber.Az quotes the IDF as saying on Telegram.

The Israeli military said the facilities were intended for use by the group to advance and carry out various attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

"Prior to the strikes, measures were taken to mitigate the risk of harm to civilians, including advance warnings, the use of precision munitions, and aerial surveillance," the IDF added.

The IDF said it is operating with determination and force against Hezbollah, following the organisation’s decision to deliberately attack Israel amidst US-Israeli joint airstrikes on Iran.
