The IDF carried out a targeted strike against key commanders of the(IRGC)Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds Force’s Lebanon Corps operating in Beirut, the military confirmed early Sunday morning. The statement followed local reports of a targeted strike on a hotel in Beirut, which claimed to have killed at least four and injured ten.
"Commanders in the Quds Force’s Lebanon Corps had been working to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens from Lebanese territory," the statement said. It also added that "The Iranian terror regime operates systematically within civilian populations in Iran and Lebanon, cynically exploiting residents and using them as human shields to advance terrorist objectives."
Lebanon Corps serves as a direct link tying Hezbollah to Iran's regime, functioning as a supporting body to "Hezbollah’s military buildup and force development," noted the IDF. "The IDF will not allow Iranian terrorist elements to establish themselves in Lebanese territory and will continue to carry out targeted eliminations of commanders of the Iranian terror regime wherever they operate," the statement concluded.
Earlier on Saturday, the IDF announced that it had begun a new wave of strikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut, adding separately that it had destroyed the rocket launcher used to target northern Israel. (Read More)
