The IDF have struck several targets in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon on Sunday
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that they have hit Hezbollah’s intelligence compound in Beirut during the latest series of airstrikes in Lebanon.
The Israeli jets struck the pro-Palestinian armed group’s “intelligence headquarters,” as well as command centers and “additional terrorist infrastructure sites,” the IDF said in a statement early on Monday.
The strikes also targeted Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa area, destroying a weapons storage and a command center, the IDF added. In a separate statement, the army said that its troops were continuing cross-border operations against Hezbollah and carried out raids in Gaza’s Jabaliya area.
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least 11 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Sunday and 17 others were injured.
