Israel bombs Hezbollah ‘intelligence HQ’ (VIDEO)
The IDF struck several targets in Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon on Sunday
The Israeli military says it has bombed a Hezbollah intelligence compound in Beirut during its latest series of airstrikes in Lebanon.
Jets struck the pro-Palestinian armed group’s “intelligence headquarters” as well as command centers and “additional terrorist infrastructure sites,” the Israel Defense Forces (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 command center, the IDF added. In a separate statement, the army said Israeli troops were continuing cross-border operations against Hezbollah and carried out raids in the Jabaliya area of Gaza.
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, at least 11 people were killed and 17 others injured by Israeli strikes on Sunday.
