Israel strikes Hezbollah military site in southern Lebanon

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have announced that it struck a Hezbollah military command centre on the night of July 9 from which Hezbollah terrorists operated in the area of Yohmor in southern Lebanon.

According to the military's official announcement from July 10 published via Telegram, the command centre operated under the cover of a civilian structure, which the IDF interprets as a demonstration of "Hezbollah’s systematic exploitation of the civilian population to advance terrorist attacks against the state of Israel."

The IDF statement particularly highlights that the existence and use of this command center constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, which have formally agreed to a ceasefire back in November 2024.

In a separate mission, IDF units uncovered weapons stashed in the Lavona area of southern Lebanon, including a multi-barrel rocket launcher, automatic firearms, and explosives. An underground weapons depot was also found and neutralised.

Furthermore, the IDF reported the killing of Hussein Ali Muzhir, a key figure in Hezbollah’s Badr Unit responsible for coordinating rocket fire against Israel.
