Israeli Forces Hit Hezbollah Naval Base in Beirut

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a series of precision airstrikes on Hezbollah’s naval facilities in Beirut, targeting key terror sites linked to the Lebanon-based militant group. According to an IDF statement released Tuesday morning, the strikes focused on Hezbollah’s naval unit, which has been actively involved in preparing attacks against Israel.

The operation targeted several strategic locations, including warehouses used to store weaponry, command centers, and other critical sites. Intelligence gathered by the IDF's Intelligence Directorate and Navy led to the identification of these targets, with the airstrikes also aimed at underground infrastructure, which housed both aerial projectiles and naval vessels employed by Hezbollah. These vessels are designed to attack Israeli Navy ships and maritime assets in Israeli waters, posing a significant threat to the country’s strategic interests.

Among the most notable targets was Hezbollah’s central naval base, identified as a key operational hub for the terrorist organization. This base was used not only for storing fast boats but also for conducting training and testing the unit's capabilities. By hitting this location, the IDF aimed to cripple Hezbollah's naval operations, which have been an ongoing danger to Israeli security.

In line with Israel’s policy to minimize harm to civilians, the IDF took extensive measures before the airstrikes to warn residents in the vicinity of the targeted areas. These preemptive warnings were intended to reduce the risk of civilian casualties, demonstrating the IDF’s continued efforts to balance operational objectives with humanitarian considerations.

This operation comes as part of Israel’s broader strategy to neutralize Hezbollah’s military capabilities, particularly as tensions remain high along Israel’s northern border. Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed group, has long been a source of instability in the region, and its naval operations pose a direct threat to Israeli forces and civilian infrastructure along the coast.

As Israel continues its defensive measures against Hezbollah’s growing military infrastructure, the country remains vigilant in protecting its citizens and maintaining the safety of its borders. By targeting Hezbollah’s key naval assets, Israel aims to prevent future attacks and maintain its security dominance in the region.
