IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari announces strike on Hezbollah headquarters IDF Spokesperson's Unit
“Moments ago, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a precise strike on the Central Headquarters of the Hezbollah terror organization - that served as the epicenter of Hezbollah's terror."
"Hezbollah's central headquarters was intentionally built under residential buildings in the heart of the Dahieh, in Beirut, as part of Hezbollah's strategy of using Lebanese people as human shields. On October 8th, Hezbollah started attacking Israel," he continued.
"After almost a year of Hezbollah firing rockets, missiles, and suicide drones at Israeli civilians, after almost a year of Israel warning the world and telling them that Hezbollah must be stopped, Israel is doing what every sovereign state in the world would do if they had a terror organization that seeks their destruction on their border, taking the necessary action to protect our people so that Israeli families can live in their homes, safely and securely,” said Hagari.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the strike on the Hezbollah headquarters moments before
his speech at the UN General Assembly.
In light of the developments, the Prime Minister's Office said that "Prime Minister Netanyahu decided to move up his return to Israel, and will take off from the United States this evening."
Netanyahu is scheduled to take off from New York on Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. local time (3:00 a.m. Israel time) and, upon his arrival in Israel, will hold situational assessments at the Kirya base in Tel Aviv.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant posted a photo from the IAF’s command and control center, where he was staying, together with the IDF Chief of the General Staff and senior IDF officials, at the time of the strike.
“We will continue striking Hezbollah - in every place and any time necessary - until we can ensure the safe return of Israel’s northern communities to their homes,” said Gallant.
