Israeli Air Force strikes central base of Hezbollah's naval unit in Beirut

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck a central base of Hezbollah’s naval forces in Beirut and also attacked the Shia military group’s weapons storage facilities and command centers in the Lebanese capital, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

"The IAF struck Hezbollah weapons storage facilities, command centers, and additional terror targets in Beirut," the IDF said in a statement. "Among the targets in Beirut was a central base of Hezbollah's Naval Unit, where Hezbollah stored military speed boats, and a training center," the statement reads.

"The Naval Unit's speed boats were intended to be used in attacks on Israeli Navy vessels and against naval and strategic targets within Israel's territorial waters," the Israeli military added.
