IDF destroys primed Hezbollah missile launcher in Beqaa Valley + Beirut weapon depot and building strikes overnight
·Beqaa Valley and Beirut, Lebanon
Overnight (D30 early hours), the IDF struck a primed Hezbollah missile launcher in Lebanon's Beqaa Valley that was armed and prepared for an attack on Israel. IDF also hit Hezbollah weapon depots and buildings where Hezbollah members were operating, plus Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut.
The Israeli military conducted overnight strikes in Lebanon targeting a ready-to-fire Hezbollah missile launcher in the eastern Beqaa Valley — the IDF said the launcher was 'armed and prepared for an attack on Israel' before it was destroyed. Additional strikes hit Hezbollah weapon depots and buildings used as operating bases for Hezbollah personnel in the Beqaa region. In Beirut, the IAF also struck Hezbollah infrastructure targets. The pre-emptive destruction of the primed launcher prevented a planned Hezbollah rocket attack — consistent with IDF policy of targeting launchers before they fire when possible. The Beqaa Valley has been a major logistics corridor for Hezbollah weapons from Iran via Syria throughout the conflict.
