The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have intensified their airstrike campaign against Hezbollah in Beirut's southern suburbs, targeting 12 command centers. The strikes, which began following the launch of approximately 160 rockets from Lebanon into Israel, were preceded by evacuation warnings issued for 12 buildings in the area. The IDF confirmed that the airstrikes were aimed at Hezbollah's military infrastructure, including command rooms associated with its intelligence division, coast-to-sea missile unit, and Unit 4400. The Israeli military stated that these command centers were embedded within civilian buildings, from which Hezbollah managed operations against Israel. The airstrikes have been part of a broader operation that commenced earlier in the week, with the IDF conducting multiple waves of targeted strikes based on intelligence assessments. The situation remains tense as the IDF continues to respond to threats from Hezbollah in the region.
