IDF confirms: Hezbollah hit a key Israeli Air Force base in Meron

A Hezbollah anti-tank missile has hit a key Israeli Air Force facility, the IDF acknowledged today (Friday). The target, an Air Control Unit located at Meron, is considered a strategic asset by the Israeli military.

The attack occurred early Friday morning when Hezbollah launched a barrage of three anti-tank missiles towards the base. One of these missiles successfully struck the facility, causing damage. However, the IDF was quick to clarify that while the base sustained hits, the operational capabilities of the air control system remain intact.

This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions along Israel's northern border with Lebanon. It also demonstrates Hezbollah's ability to target sensitive military installations deep within Israeli territory.

In a related development earlier today, IDF Division 146 forces identified a Hezbollah cell preparing to launch attacks into Israeli territory. The Israeli military responded swiftly, directing an Air Force strike that eliminated the terrorist group in the Tir Harfa area of southern Lebanon.

Following the airstrike, the IDF detected a rocket launch from the same area, indicating the presence of additional weaponry at the site. In response, Israeli forces conducted artillery strikes in the Shebaa region of southern Lebanon.
