Dozens of airstrikes from the IDF on Saturday took out Hezbollah leaders in Beirut, a Hamas commander near Tripoli, a headquarters used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air force, missile launch platforms in southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah military sites in the Bekaa Valley, the Israeli military announced Saturday.
Israel issued evacuation warnings to civilians in Beirut’s southern suburbs and parts of southern Lebanon prior to its onslaught against Iranian-backed Hezbollah.
The bombing campaign has killed at least 217 people, injured 798 others and displaced 95,000 Lebanese civilians, according to the country’s health ministry, Al Jazeera reported.
It is unclear how many members of the Lebanese terror proxy were taken out.
“The Israel Defense Forces will continue to attack every necessary location in order to remove an immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel,” the IDF said in a statement posted to X.
“The long arm of the Israel Defense Forces will reach every arena and will cut off the hands of all our enemies in the Middle East.”
