Israeli fighter jets on Sunday attacked and destroyed a Hezbollah warehouse for precision missiles in Beirut.

Before the attack, the IDF spokesperson in Arabic warned residents of several buildings and streets in the Dahiyeh quarter to immediately evacuate the area. IDF fighter jets also carried out two warning strikes before dropping the munitions on the target.

The attack was the third time the IDF carried out airstrikes in Beirut since the ceasefire with Lebanon began in November 2024.

Later on Sunday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz confirmed the attack, saying in a joint statement: “Under the direction of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz, the IDF attacked infrastructure in Beirut where Hezbollah’s precision missiles were stored which posed a significant threat to the State of Israel.”

“Israel will not allow Hezbollah to grow stronger and create any threat against it, anywhere in Lebanon. The Dahiyeh quarter in Beirut will not serve as a safe haven for the Hezbollah terror organization. The Lebanese government bears direct responsibility for preventing these threats. Israel will stand by its war goal of safely returning the residents of the north to their homes.”
