IDF: The IDF completed another wave of strikes across Lebanon targeting fuel stations that fund the activities of the Hezbollah terrorist organization

Over the past day, the IDF completed an additional wave of strikes across Lebanon targeting fuel stations belonging to the company Al-Amana, which is controlled by the Hezbollah terrorist organization and serves as significant financial infrastructure supporting its terrorist activities.

As part of the strikes, fuel stations in various areas of Lebanon were targeted and rendered inoperable. These stations are used by Hezbollah to refuel trucks transporting weapons and operatives.

The fuel stations generate millions of dollars in revenue for Hezbollah, fund its operations, and serve as another example of Hezbollah’s exploitation of Lebanese civilians while operating under civilian cover to advance terrorist activities.

The targeting of these fuel stations significantly damages Hezbollah’s infrastructure in Lebanon, limits the capabilities of its terrorists to plan attacks, and continues the disruption of assets belonging to the Al-Qard al-Hasan association in Beirut, as part of the terrorist organization’s economic entrenchment within the civilian population.

The IDF is operating decisively against the Hezbollah terrorist organization in response to its deliberate decision to attack Israel on behalf of the Iranian terror regime. The IDF acts to remove threats to the civilians of the State of Israel.
