Hezbollah rejects Israeli claim of weapons depots in bombed civilian buildings
Hezbollah strongly rejects the Israeli military’s claim of its maintaining either weapons or weapon depots inside the civilian buildings in the Lebanese capital Beirut that have come under intense Israeli airstrikes.
The Lebanese resistance movement’s Media Relations Office issued the remarks in a statement on Saturday after the Israeli military claimed that it was conducting strikes targeting “weapons belonging to Hezbollah…that were stored beneath civilian buildings” in southern Beirut.
“The enemy's claims about the presence of weapons or weapons depots in the civilian buildings targeted by the bombing in the southern suburb are false,” the office said.
The strikes targeted several buildings in the al-Hadath and Laylaki neighborhoods in Beirut’s Dahiyeh area.
Shortly afterwards, reports pointed to “a third wave of strikes” on al-Hadath, with subsequent accounts putting the total number of the attacks to 15.
On Friday, Israeli warplanes struck at least six residential structures in Dahiyeh's Haret Hreik neighborhood, killing at least eight people and wounding some 80 others.
The attacks came as part of the regime’s escalation against Lebanon that has been targeting the country since October 7, when Tel Aviv launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The escalation has taken a deadlier turn since Monday, claiming the lives of more than 700 people across the country.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
