Israel hits Hezbollah underground weapons stockpile

The airstrikes come in the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion on Monday that military actions against Hezbollah in Beirut would continue, despite prior reports indicating a temporary halt.

Kan News reported that an unusual Israeli strike in western Beirut on October 10 had resulted in significant casualties and provoked an angry response from US officials.

In addition to the Dahiyeh strikes, the IDF announced that over 140 Hezbollah targets had been engaged from the air across Lebanon, including weapons storage facilities and terrorist infrastructure.

Ground operations in southern Lebanon by the IDF’s 98th Division reportedly resulted in the deaths of dozens of militants and the discovery of various weaponry, including rocket and anti-tank missile launchers aimed at northern Israeli communities.

The IDF confirmed that the strike targeted "strategic weapons belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organisation" in Dahiyeh, marking the first such attack in the capital since October 10, when an airstrike killed 22 people.

As tensions continue to escalate, the IDF's proactive measures and military operations underline the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in the region.
