The Israel Defense Forces said Monday it has completed a wave of simultaneous strikes in Lebanon and Iran, targeting senior Hezbollah terrorists and Iranian regime assets, as fighting intensifies on multiple fronts.
According to the IDF, the strikes in Lebanon followed rockets launched from Lebanese territory toward Israel. As part of the operation, the military said it precisely struck senior Hezbollah terrorists in the Beirut area.

At the same time, the Israeli Air Force and the Israeli Navy, acting on intelligence guidance and in coordination with the Northern Command, struck dozens of Hezbollah and Iranian regime command centers across Lebanon, particularly in the Dahieh district of Beirut, Hezbollah’s stronghold.
The Israeli Navy also struck a site in the Tyre area used by Hezbollah to store weapons, the military said.
The IDF said the command centers targeted were used by the Iranian regime to deepen coordination with Hezbollah, enabling the group to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians in recent years, including during Operation Northern Arrows.
“The strike targeted the Hezbollah terrorist organization that decided to join the Iranian terrorist regime and, going forward, will face the consequences of their attack against the State of Israel,” the IDF said in a statement.
The military said it will continue to act against Hezbollah’s decision to join the campaign on behalf of Iran and will not allow harm to the State of Israel, particularly to civilians in northern Israel.
Separately, the IDF said the Israeli Air Force, guided by Israeli intelligence, has begun an additional broad strike on Iranian regime targets in the heart of Tehran.
The military said it is prepared for a multi-front scenario and will act against any threat posed to Israel.
Operation Roaring Lion: campaign data to date
The IDF also released updated figures from Operation Roaring Lion, outlining the scope of the campaign so far.
According to the military, approximately 600 Iranian regime terrorist infrastructure sites have been dismantled to date. These include more than 20 targets linked to Iranian military leaders, over 150 surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and more than 200 Iranian air defense systems.
The IDF said roughly 2,500 munitions have been used since the start of the operation.
Over the past day alone, about 30 terrorist infrastructure sites were struck in Lebanon.
With the launch of the operation, the IDF Operations Directorate, through the General Command Center, has been overseeing and synchronizing offensive and defensive efforts across multiple fronts.
Ahead of the campaign, the Operations Directorate conducted months of in-depth preparations, including coordination with the US military and readiness planning for developments across several arenas. Regional commands were reinforced and both defensive and offensive capabilities were bolstered.
So far, approximately 110,000 reservists have been mobilized as part of the operation.
