Israeli forces carried out airstrikes Sunday targeting what government officials described as terrorist facilities located in the southern districts of Beirut, Lebanon, according to a joint statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The military operation focused on the Dahiyeh area, which serves as a stronghold for Hezbollah, Israeli officials said. The strikes were conducted as retaliation for attacks launched by the group into Israeli territory, the joint statement indicated.
