(Worthy News) – Israel carried out a precision airstrike Sunday on a Hezbollah missile warehouse in Beirut’s Dahieh district, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed in a joint statement, warning that the facility “posed a significant threat to Israel.”
“Israel will not allow Hezbollah to grow stronger and pose any threat to it — anywhere in Lebanon,” they said, stressing that Beirut’s southern suburb would not serve as a “sanctuary city” for the Iranian backed terrorist organization. They also held the Lebanese government “directly responsible for preventing these threats.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the airstrike targeted a facility used to store precision missiles, calling it “a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon” and a direct threat to Israeli civilians.
Before the attack, IDF Arabic-language spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee issued an urgent warning to residents, urging civilians to evacuate at least 300 meters from the targeted site.
Lebanese media reported fighter jets and drones flying over Beirut’s southern suburbs, and rescue teams were seen responding on site. Lebanese sources told Qatar’s Al-Araby outlet that “talks are underway with the ceasefire monitoring committee to pressure Israel to stop its attacks.”
Israeli officials confirmed the warehouse stored “significant weaponry,” and Sky News Arabia cited Israeli sources identifying Hezbollah missiles at the site.
A source familiar with the operation told The Jerusalem Post that the U.S. administration was briefed ahead of the strike and that “everything was coordinated.”
