Hesbollah on Hideout as IDF Bombs Rock his City
Earlier this week, the outgoing IDF Northern Command, Chief Maj. Gen. Uri Gordin said that the military will continue to strike Hezbollah until it disarms.
The IDF on Thursday bombed the largest Hezbollah precision missile facility in Lebanon to prevent the Lebanese terror group from rebuilding it, Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed.
During the September-November 2024 heightened point of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, the air force had previously attacked the facility.
More recently, IDF intelligence noticed that Hezbollah was trying to rebuild the facility in order to reconstitute its precision missile apparatus.
Precision missiles are far more dangerous than most missiles Hezbollah or Hamas can fire, both in sometimes avoiding Israeli missile defense and in having a much higher chance of striking an Israeli civilian or national security target.
Katz said, "Any attempt by the terror organization to rehabilitate, to reconstitute itself, or to threaten [Israel] will be answered with uncompromising power."
The attacks come as there is unprecedented pressure on Hezbollah Chief Naim Qassem to give up Hezbollah's arms and status as Lebanon's largest military force, even greater than the Lebanese army.
Though Hezbollah is weaker than it has been in decades as a result of the war with Israel and ongoing periodic strikes, totallying 500, by Israel against it even after a November 2024 ceasefire, Qassem has stridently resisted disarming.
