The Israeli military has announced its intention to launch an attack on buildings in southern Beirut that it claims are being used by Hezbollah to store missiles. The Israel Defense Forces have identified three buildings in the Dahiya neighborhood of Beirut as locations where strategic weapons are being stored underground, with residential structures acting as shields above ground.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, an IDF spokesperson, stated that the missiles stored in these buildings can be quickly moved and launched, posing a significant threat to global shipping routes and Israel's strategic infrastructure. As a precautionary measure, residents in the affected neighborhoods have been advised to evacuate and move away from the buildings as far as possible.
The IDF has warned that the weapons stored beneath the buildings will be targeted in a planned operation, which could result in explosions that may cause structural damage and potential collapse. The military aims to eliminate the threat posed by these missile storage facilities to ensure the safety of the region and prevent any further escalation of tensions.
Efforts are being made to minimize civilian casualties and ensure the safety of residents in the area during the upcoming operation. The IDF's decision to target these buildings is part of its ongoing efforts to counter the activities of Hezbollah and protect Israel's security interests.
