The IDF attacked infrastructure and engineering equipment of the Hezbollah terrorist organization used for the rehabilitation of infrastructure in Lebanon

Early on Friday, the IDF attacked infrastructure and engineering equipment of the Hezbollah terrorist organization that were used by the organization's militants in attempts to rehabilitate the organization's infrastructure in the Mzar'at al-Dawudiya area in southern Lebanon.

The presence of the infrastructure and engineering equipment in the area and Hezbollah's use of them for the purpose of rehabilitating terrorist infrastructure in Lebanon constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to act to remove any threat to the State of Israel and to prevent the rehabilitation of the Hezbollah terrorist organization.
