Overnight, the Israeli military said it had hit Hezbollah operatives in a command center built in a mosque in Bint Jbeil, southern Lebanon, in the Martyr Salah Ghandour hospital.

The Israeli military said the drone strike was “precise” and based on intelligence.

According to the military, the command room was used by Hezbollah operatives “to plan and execute acts of terrorism against Israeli army troops and the State of Israel.”

Before the attack began, the Israeli military said it sent text messages to residents and called officials in neighboring villages, “demanding that all acts of terrorism in the hospital stop immediately.”

“Since the beginning of the war, and even more so since the beginning of the limited ground activity in southern Lebanon, the Israeli army has made great efforts to prevent damage to non-involved civilians and civilian infrastructure, against the “cynical use by the terrorist organization. Hezbollah. of civilian infrastructure, including essential buildings, to carry out terrorist acts,” the Israeli military added in a statement. Hezbollah claims to have repelled an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon overnight.
