The IDF spokesperson announced that the army plans to strike several underground drone production facilities "established in the heart of civilian population in Beirut's Dahieh district." According to the IDF statement, "Despite understandings between Israel and Lebanon, the IDF has identified that Hezbollah's aerial unit (127) is operating to produce thousands of drones, under the guidance and funding of Iranian terror elements." Footage from Dahieh shows significant traffic jams as people exit the area, as well as small arms fire encouraging residents to distance themselves from strike targets - all this on the eve of the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday.
