The Israel Air Force struck key aspects of Hezbollah’s Unit 4400 in Beirut.
This is the unit responsible for Syria-Lebanon cross-border Iranian weapons smuggling to Hezbollah.
The IDF also revealed new details about strikes it has undertaken against unit 4400 in the field, including that previous strikes destroyed cross-border tunnels between Syria and Lebanon, which Iran and Hezbollah were trying to sue to smuggle weapons to the Lebanese terror group.
Further, the air force conducted multiple rounds of intelligence-based strikes on several other Hezbollah command centers in Dahiyeh, Beirut, on Monday evening, following IDF Arabic spokesman Avichay Adraee's evacuation warning to the residents of Al-Ghobeiry and Haret Hreik municipalities on X/Twitter.

"For your safety and the safety of your family members, you must evacuate these buildings and those adjacent to them immediately and stay away from them for a distance of no less than 500 meters," Adraee wrote.
Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, is known as a Hezbollah stronghold.
The morning strikes followed earlier evacuation warnings issued to residents of southern Beirut neighborhoods.
Evacuation ordered
IDF Arabic Spokesperson Avichay Adraee had already warned the residents of the Haret Hreik neighborhood in southern Beirut earlier Monday.
Despite these attacks and talk of an imminent ceasefire, Hezbollah still fired more than 30 rockets and some drones into the North, wounding at least one person in Nahariya.
Still, this was a significant drop in rocket fire compared to the more than 250 rockets the day before.
