The IDF's Givati Brigade identified during the last 24 hours a Hezbollah terrorist cell operating in southern Lebanon, which was eliminated by the Air Force, the military said on Saturday.

The attack was done as part of a wider operation in southern Lebanon, where soldiers from Givati, under the command of the 91st Division, raided buildings used by Hezbollah as weapon storage sites.

"In a number of targeted raids on military buildings used by the organization, numerous weapon caches were located, including anti-tank missiles, RPG missiles, rockets, Kalashnikov rifles, and cartridges," the military announced.

The IDF issued an evacuation order on Saturday evening for the M30 route and a factory used by Hezbollah located on the Lebanese-Syrian border.

"We urge all individuals near the crossing and everyone present in the area marked in red according to the map to evacuate it immediately," said Avichay Adraee, IDF's Arabic spokesperson.

"Remaining in this area exposes you to danger," he warned.

Earlier, the IDF announced it completed, during Friday night and Saturday morning, a round of attacks against Hezbollah sites in Beirut, targeting a Quds Force headquarters used by the Lebanese Corps, which acts as a link between Hezbollah and the Iranian regime.

Additionally, two bases of operations used by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were destroyed during the round of attacks in Beirut, while the Navy attacked an observation post used by Hezbollah terrorists, the military confirmed on Saturday.

Earlier on Friday, the IDF said it had destroyed a rocket launcher used by Hezbollah in a large rocket salvo fired towards Haifa, Nahariya, and the Galilee area on Friday, the military said.

The launcher fired at least 15 rockets, according to reports by Hebrew media, which were intercepted or fell in open areas.

The IDF and Magen David Adom confirmed that no civilians were harmed during the Hezbollah attack, which triggered sirens across northern Israel.

"The IDF will act to remove threats to the residents of the State of Israel and will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization," the military said.
