Israel Strikes Hezbollah Weapons Sites: Massive Retaliation After Cross-Border Attack
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) launched a series of significant airstrikes targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon on Thursday, July 31, 2025. The operation followed a cross-border attack attributed to the Lebanese militant group.
The IDF confirmed the strikes were a direct response to recent Hezbollah actions, which posed a serious threat to Israeli national security. Specific targets included facilities involved in explosives production and missile manufacturing.
Among the key infrastructure hit were sites used to produce explosives for Hezbollah weaponry and underground facilities for missile production and storage of strategic weapons. The extent of the damage is still being assessed.
The strikes mark a significant escalation in tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border. The incident highlights the ongoing fragility of the region and the potential for wider conflict to erupt. Experts warn of the need for immediate de-escalation efforts to prevent further bloodshed.
