IDF Strikes Radwan Force HQ and Hezbollah Intel HQ in Coordinated Beirut Command Raids
Simultaneous overnight strikes across Beirut and southern Lebanon target Hezbollah's elite commando and intelligence leadership
The Israeli Air Force conducted simultaneous overnight strikes on Hezbollah's command architecture across Lebanon, destroying a Radwan Force headquarters and an intelligence division headquarters in Beirut, while striking a command center embedded in the Al-Nour radio station in at-Tiri, southern Lebanon. The Radwan Force is Hezbollah's elite commando unit — trained for cross-border anti-tank warfare and the primary threat for ground incursions into northern Israel. Striking the Radwan HQ and intelligence HQ simultaneously, while operatives were confirmed present, represents a deliberate IDF effort to disrupt Hezbollah's command coherence. Hezbollah responded in the same morning cycle with a 30-rocket barrage at Haifa Bay — demonstrating that tactical command disruption has not halted operational rocket fire.
