Israeli fighter jets struck a command center belonging to Hezbollah’s intelligence division and an underground weapons manufacturing site in Beirut on Sunday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Before the strike, the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area.

Separate strikes in southern Lebanon targeted and killed three prominent Hezbollah operatives.

The IDF named them as al-Hajj Abbas Salameh, a senior member of Hezbollah’s Southern Front; Reda Abbas Ouda, a communications specialist; and Ahmed Ali Hussain, responsible for weapons manufacturing.

The Lebanese army said three soldiers were killed Sunday in an Israeli strike that “targeted” their vehicle in the country’s south. It wasn’t immediately clear if that strike was linked to the ones claimed by Israel.

The troops were killed on a road connecting the border village of Ain Ebel to the nearby town of Hanin, the army said. The latest deaths bring the number of troop casualties to eight since all-out war erupted between Israel and Hezbollah last month.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah launched two volleys of rockets, including a total of some 100 rockets toward Israel, triggering sirens in the Western and Upper Galilee regions as well as Haifa and its environs, the IDF said.

Some rockets were shot down, while others impacted, sparking fires, the military said. Firefighters were deployed to extinguish the blazes.

The Israel Fire and Rescue Service reported that fragments from an interceptor missile fell on a residential building in the western part of Haifa, causing some damage to the two-story property but no injuries.

Hezbollah also said it fired “a big rocket salvo” at an Israeli army base east of Safed, claiming the attack was “in defense of Lebanon” and “in response to the Israeli enemy’s attacks on villages and homes.”

There were no immediate reports of injuries in the attacks.

Hezbollah began attacking northern Israel a day after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attacks on the country’s south, saying it was doing so in support of the Gaza-based terror group.

After suffering nearly a year of cross-border attacks, Israel launched a major offensive against Hezbollah in September with catastrophic consequences for the group, decimating its leadership and crippling much of its capabilities.

This month it launched a ground offensive in southern Lebanon to dismantle terror infrastructure that threatened communities near the border.

The attacks on northern Israel over the last year have resulted in the deaths of 29 civilians. In addition, 43 IDF soldiers and reservists have died in cross-border skirmishes and in the ensuing ground operation launched in southern Lebanon in late September.

Two soldiers have been killed in a drone attack from Iraq, and there have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.

Hezbollah has named 516 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. Another 94 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and dozens of civilians have also been killed.

These numbers have not been consistently updated since Israel began a new offensive against Hezbollah in September, but the IDF estimates that more than 1,500 Hezbollah operatives have been killed in the conflict.
