The Israel Air Force (IAF) completed its fourth set of strikes on Hezbollah compound centers in Dahieh, the IDF said on Thursday evening.
This comes after the IDF announced that it had completed its third wave of strikes during the afternoon.
Israel’s military noted that it had hit a weapons depot, terror headquarters, and Hezbollah infrastructure during the fourth wave of strikes in the same area.
It added that the strikes were conducted as part of an ongoing effort to “destroy the weapons production sites and storage facilities that Hezbollah has established over the years in the heart of Beirut.”
During both the third and the fourth rounds of strikes, the IDF said that Hezbollah had deliberately located itself within civilian population centers.
Hezbollah makes use of ‘human shields’
According to the IDF, the Hezbollah terror group deliberately embedded its infrastructure in the civilian area to use the Lebanese civilian population as a human shield.
It added that before the strikes, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians.
