The IDF says it has completed a round of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah rocket storage facilities in Deir Kifa, Shehour, Tayr Felsay, and Aynata in southern Lebanon. The depots were located within civilian areas, and evacuation warnings were issued in advance.

According to the IDF, these sites were positioned “in the heart of a civilian population,” calling it “yet another example of Hezbollah’s cynical use of Lebanese civilians as human shields.” The military added that the presence of such weapons caches “violates the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
