Israel says it is responding to repeated terror attacks by Hezbollah following the Oct. 7 attacks
Israel carries out more strikes in Lebanon
Fox News’ Nate Foy reports on the war in Israel as tensions escalate following attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Israeli Defense Forces carried out a "precise strike" on the central headquarters of Hezbollah in Beirut, Lebanon, the IDF announced Friday.
IDF spokesperson Rear admiral Daniel Hagari said the headquarters were intentionally built under residential buildings "as part of Hezbollah's strategy of using Lebanese people as human shields."
Video and images show plumes of smoke rising over Beirut following the Israeli strikes.
"On Oct. 8, Hezbollah started attacking Israel after almost a year of Hezbollah firing rockets, missiles and suicide drones at Israeli civilians," Hagari said.
Smoke rises, after what Hezbollah's Al-Manar tv says was an Israeli strike, amid ongoing cross-border hostilities between Hezbollah and Israeli forces, in Beirut's southern suburbs, Lebanon, Sept. 27, 2024. (Reuters)
"After almost a year of Israel warning the world and telling them that Hezbollah must be stopped, Israel is doing what every sovereign state in the world would do if they had a terror organization that seeks their destruction on their border, taking the necessary action to protect our people so that Israeli families can leave their homes safely and securely."
