Israeli Airstrikes on Hezbollah Positions in Beirut

On Saturday, November 26, the Israeli Air Force targeted Hezbollah positions in the "Dahiyeh" area of Beirut with two rounds of heavy attacks. The first round of airstrikes against Hezbollah positions in Dahiyeh occurred in the morning, and the second round took place in the afternoon, destroying targets such as an arms depot, a command center, and a Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure. Dahiyeh is a key base for Hezbollah in Beirut, and this proxy group of the Islamic Republic has embedded its facilities and infrastructure in civilian areas. Avichai Adraee, the Arabic-speaking spokesperson for the Israeli army, had warned residents of nearby areas to stay at least 500 meters away from these facilities before the attacks on Saturday. In southern Lebanon, Israeli infantry soldiers, in collaboration with the country's air force, destroyed several Hezbollah arms depots, tunnels, and infrastructures over the past 24 hours. Israeli fighter jets also targeted a Hezbollah military complex that housed rocket launchers, which had been used in recent days to conduct rocket attacks against northern Israeli cities. Hezbollah continued its rocket and drone attacks against northern Israeli cities on Saturday, triggering warning sirens in these areas. The Israeli army reported that the remnants of a downed drone struck a residential building in the city of Nahariya, causing minor damage. The Hezbollah attacks on Saturday did not result in any casualties in northern Israeli cities. Hezbollah Lebanon unilaterally began its rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel following the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. In response, Israel has conducted heavy attacks against this group's positions in Lebanon and Syria, killing hundreds of members of this major proxy arm of the Iranian government in the region, including leaders and senior military commanders such as Hassan Nasrallah, Foad Shukr, Ibrahim Aqil, and Hashem Safi al-Din. Simultaneously with heavy airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon, the southern suburbs of Beirut, and the Bekaa Valley, Israel has deployed ground forces to parts of southern Lebanon, resulting in over 1.2 million Lebanese being displaced due to the fighting. Several countries, including the United States, Israel, Germany, Serbia, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, and Australia, have designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
