airstrike

Explosions were heard in the Beit Lif area of southern Lebanon, Al-Akhbar reported.

The Hezbollah-run channel Al-Manar added that loud explosions were heard in western Damascus during the strikes. 

The IAF struck a launcher containing a rocket that was ready to be fired, causing the rocket to be launched.

The IDF's Arabic spokesperson, Col. Avichay Adraee, had earlier warned Lebanese civilians in Haret Hreik in Dahiyeh to evacuate.

The IDF broke down the process of identifying, analyzing, approving, and eventually striking buildings in central Beirut without damaging surrounding civilian structures.

The IDF emphasized that the strikes were part of a broader effort to dismantle the terrorist organization Hezbollah, targeting terrorist infrastructure embedded within civilian areas.

Israeli army radio said the targets of the attack in Damascus were assets and the headquarters of the Palestinian terrorist group Islamic Jihad.
