Israeli army reports destruction of weapons depot in Beirut suburbs

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has destroyed an underground weapons depot of Lebanon’s Shia group Hezbollah in the suburbs of Beirut, the army press service said, AzVision.az reports citing TASS. 

"A short while ago, with the direction of precise IDF intelligence, the IAF conducted a strike on strategic weapons belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization," the press service said. "These weapons were stockpiled by Hezbollah in an underground storage facility in the area of Dahieh, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut," the military added. Before the attack, numerous measures were taken to reduce the risk of harm to civilians, including early warning to the population in the area, the army pointed out.

Earlier today, the IDF ordered the evacuation of a building in Beirut's southern suburbs, warning that it was in an area where the servicemen will operate "in the near future."
