Israel struck a Hezbollah headquarters in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut in response to ongoing drone launches, at a time when a ceasefire deal is reportedly being finalized, according to Channel 14.
Israel carried out a precision strike on a Hezbollah headquarters in the Dahiyeh district of southern Beirut on Friday evening, an attack Channel 14 reported was in direct response to continued drone launches from Lebanon. The strike comes at a delicate diplomatic moment, as a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is reportedly nearing completion. The Dahiyeh strike follows a pattern of Israeli operations against Hezbollah command-and-control infrastructure in Beirut’s southern suburbs, which the IDF has described as targeting the group's operational capabilities in violation of the November 2024 ceasefire framework. As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, the IDF had weighed a Beirut response after a Hezbollah strike hit Israeli territory at 08:28 Jerusalem time. Lebanese sources reported three killed and 15 wounded in a similar IDF strike on a Hezbollah target in Dahiyeh earlier in the day; casualty figures for this evening's strike are not yet available. The scale of the emerging diplomatic deal is not specified in the reports, and Hezbollah has not yet commented on either the strike or the negotiations.
