(May 8, 2025 / JNS) Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out a targeted strike on Thursday afternoon in the Beaufort Ridge area of southeastern Lebanon’s Nabatieh District, hitting a site used by Hezbollah to manage its fire and air defense systems.

The attack neutralized multiple terrorists, weapons, and underground shafts, the military said. The facility was part of a significant subterranean Hezbollah project that, due to repeated IDF strikes, has now been rendered inoperable.

The IDF stressed that the existence and operational use of this site is a clear violation of the post-Second Lebanon War understandings between Israel and Lebanon, and of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which bar Hezbollah activity south of the Litani River.
