IDF: A short while ago, the IDF struck terror infrastructure sites within a Hezbollah strategic weapons production and storage facility in the Beqaa area in Lebanon.

The IDF identified Hezbollah's attempts to reestablish presence and operations within the facility.

Additionally, Hezbollah military infrastructure sites were struck in the area of Srifa.

These Hezbollah activities and the presence of weapons in these areas constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel and will prevent any attempt by Hezbollah to reestablish its terror capabilities.

IDF: The IDF Strikes Houthi Terrorist Infrastructure in Yemen

A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck and dismantled Houthi terrorist infrastructure at the main airport in Sana’a, fully disabling the airport. The strike was carried out in response to the attack launched by the Houthi terrorist regime against Ben Gurion Airport. Flight runways, aircraft, and infrastructure at the airport were struck.

Similar to the Hudaydah Port that was struck yesterday, the airport served as a central hub for the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer weapons and operatives. It has been routinely used by the Houthi regime for terrorist purposes. This underscores the Houthi terrorist regime’s brutal exploitation of civilian infrastructure for terrorist activity.

Furthermore, several central power plants were struck in the Sana’a area. The terrorist regime exploits energy infrastructure—an additional example of the Houthi regime’s use of Yemeni civilian infrastructure for terrorist purposes.

In addition, the IDF struck the “Al Imran” Concrete Plant, located north of Sana’a, which serves as a significant resource for the Houthi terrorist regime and is used for the construction of underground tunnels and other terrorist infrastructure. This strike further degrades the Houthi regime’s economic and military buildup capabilities.

The strikes were carried out with prevision, and steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.

This operation was approved by the Commanding Officer of the IAF and the Chief of the General Staff.

Over the past year and a half, the Houthi terrorist regime has been operating under Iranian direction and funding, with the goal of targeting the State of Israel and its allies, undermining regional stability, and disrupting global freedom of navigation.

The IDF is determined to continue operating—at any distance—against all threats posed to the citizens of the State of Israel.
IDF: A short while ago, the IDF and ISA struck terrorists who were operating within a Hamas command and control center in the central Gaza Strip.

The command and control center was used by the terrorists to store weapons intended for executing terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.

Prior to the strike, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harming uninvolved civilians, including the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence.

The terrorist organizations systematically violate international law, exploiting civilian infrastructure and the Gazan population as human shields for terrorist activity. The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip to protect the State of Israel.

IDF: Earlier today (Tuesday), the IAF struck in the area of Nabatieh and eliminated the terrorist Adnan Muhammad Sadiq Harb, the commander of the logistical support unit in Hezbollah's Badr unit, which operates in the northern Litani area in Lebanon.

The terrorist served as the commander of the logistical support forces of Hezbollah's Badr unit. As part of his role, he advanced the rehabilitation of Hezbollah's terrorist capabilities and assisted in efforts to rehabilitate terrorist infrastructure south of the Litani River.

In addition, the terrorist operated to transfer weapons in Lebanese territory within different units of the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
His terrorist activities constitute a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat posed to the State of Israel.
IDF: A short while ago, a UAV that was launched from the east was intercepted by the IAF. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.

Ahmad's terrorist activity posed a threat to the State of Israel and its citizens.

The IDF will continue to operate against Hamas terrorists wherever they may operate.
