Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck a Hezbollah facility in the Beaufort Castle area a short while ago, the military says, after Lebanese media reported strikes in the area.
According to the IDF, the facility, used by the terror group to “manage its fire and defense array,” was part of an underground Hezbollah site that was previously targeted in Israeli strikes.
“In recent days, the IDF identified attempts by the Hezbollah terror organization to restore the site and therefore the terror infrastructure in the area was struck,” the military says.
The IDF says the “presence of this site and the attempts to reestablish it constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”

PM denies reported plan to end Gaza war while backing Palestinian state
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies that he agreed to a White House vision that would end the war in Gaza, expand the Abraham Accords and see Israel commit to supporting a future Palestinian state.
“The conversation that’s described in the article in Israel Hayom did not take place,” says the Prime Minister’s Office in a statement.
