The command centres were located in civilian areas. The IDF released a graphic showing the location of the Radwan Forces’ headquarters clustered in the coastal city of Tyre.
“The Hezbollah terrorist organization has been systematically abusing civilian infrastructure throughout Lebanon to plan and execute terrorist activities, endangering Lebanese civilians,” the IDF said.
The army added that locals were warned to evacuate, precision weapons were used, and the area was under aerial surveillance to minimize civilian casualties.
Also on Tuesday, it was cleared for publication that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea was slightly damaged in Saturday’s drone attack. Images published in Israeli media show cracks in a bedroom window where the drone apparently struck but failed to penetrate. The window was presumably made of reinforced glass and is believed to have other protections. Netanyahu and his family were not there at the time.
Hezbollah fired a barrage of 20 missiles at northern and central Israel on Tuesday morning. All were intercepted or fell in open areas, though shrapnel from an intercepted missile fell in the city of B’nei Brak, next to Tel Aviv. Police said falling debris also damaged a building and some vehicles on Kibbutz Ma’agen Michael, near Haifa.

In a separate raid, troops located and destroyed a launcher with four missiles ready to be fired toward northern Israeli communities.

After the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, the Iran-backed Hezbollah began firing rockets and launching drones at northern Israel communities daily. According to figures released by the government on Sept. 29, more than 68,000 residents of northern Israel are displaced from their homes. Hezbollah leaders have repeatedly said they would continue the attacks to prevent Israelis from returning to their homes.
Hezbollah’s barrages have killed 59 people.
According to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War, the terror group is forbidden from operating in southern Lebanon.
There can’t be that many Command and Control centres as claimed by the IDF in West Asia’s Combat Zones.
