The IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah launchers in Lebanon after the terror group launched multiple projectiles into Israel over the last day, the IDF announced on Wednesday.

Hezbollah projectiles were launched at the Nahariya region on Tuesday, killing two. Sirens also sounded in the Tel Aviv and Gush Dan region, but no injuries were reported.

The IDF has been conducting targeted operations in southern Lebanon to dismantle additional Hezbollah terror sites. These defensive and offensive operations have eliminated terrorists, located weapons, and dismantled infrastructure, including underground hideouts and storage.

Additionally, Overnight, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on Hezbollah weapons storage facilities and command centers in the Dahieh area, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut, where Hezbollah systematically embedded its terrorist infrastructure behind the Lebanese civilian population.

Prior to the strikes, numerous steps were taken to mitigate the risk to civilians, including issuing advance warnings to the population in the area.

These strikes were a part of the IDF's ongoing efforts to dismantle and degrade Hezbollah's military capabilities, and the IDF is continuing to strike Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites in the Dahieh area.
