IDF strikes dozens of Hezbollah terror targets in Lebanon's Beqaa

The IDF struck dozens of targets belonging to the Hezbollah terror group in the Beqaa area of southern Lebanon during the early hours of Monday morning, Israel's military announced shortly after the strike.

According to the IDF, the Israeli Air Force targeted Hezbollah terror sites in the area, and among the targets hit were numerous launchers and weapons structures.

Additionally, it noted that fighter jets struck military buildings used by Hezbollah for terrorist activities against Israel, which were located in various areas of southern Lebanon.

"The IDF will continue to strike forcefully, damaging and reducing Hezbollah's military capabilities and infrastructure in Lebanon," Israel's military said following the attack.

Additionally, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said in a statement in the early hours of Monday that three of its leaders were killed in an alleged Israeli strike that targeted Beirut's Kola district, Reuters and Sky News Arabic reported.

No confirmation of the Beirut strike

The IDF did not release a statement confirming the strike in Beirut.

According to Reuters, the strike hit the upper floor of an apartment building in the district, making it the first Israeli strike within Beirut’s city limits in the escalating hostilities.

The timing of strikes in Beqaa and the alleged Kola district attack comes following Israel's elimination of Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday.
