IDF: A short while ago, the IDF struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon.
Among the targets struck: Hezbollah weapons storage facilities, a missile launcher and Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure which stored engineering tools that allowed for the reestablishment of terrorist infrastructure in the area.

The Hezbollah terrorist organization continues attempting to reestablish terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon using the lebanese population as human shields. The presence of weapons and the activity of Hezbollah in the area constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to operate in order to protect the state of Israel.
