“The Israeli Armed Forces are currently carrying out simultaneous attacks in Tehran and Beirut. The Israeli Air Force has launched targeted strikes against military targets of the Iranian terrorist regime and the Hezbollah terrorist organization,” the army said in a statement.
Before announcing the start of these attacks, the army issued new orders to evacuate dozens of locations in Lebanon. At the same time, she warned residents of two neighborhoods in the south of Beirut to stay away from several buildings before the upcoming military action.
Israel attacked Hezbollah targets overnight on Monday after the military announced that projectiles had been fired from Lebanon into the territory of the Jewish state. In response to this attack, the Lebanese government banned Hezbollah’s military activities.
Israel has been continuing its military operation in Iran since Saturday, when, together with the United States, it began coordinated strikes in the Islamic Republic. In response, Iran has already launched attacks on Israel and the countries in the Persian Gulf, which it also attacked on Tuesday night.
