(JNS) Israeli Air Force jets reportedly conducted fresh airstrikes in Beirut’s Hezbollah terrorist stronghold of Dahiyeh on Wednesday afternoon, November 6, breaking a days-long lull in Israeli operations in the Lebanese capital.

According to the MTV Lebanon, aka Murr Television, news outlet, waves of “heavy” strikes hit targets in the Beirut district, while simultaneously, attacks targeted Hezbollah sites in the Southern Lebanon city of Nabatieh.

The aerial attacks were launched shortly after the IDF issued evacuation orders for several buildings in Dahiyeh, where the Iranian-backed terrorist organization’s leadership is largely based.

The orders were published as Hezbollah released a prerecorded speech by its secretary-general, Naim Qassem, on the occasion of the end of the 40-day mourning period for his slain predecessor Hassan Nasrallah.

In the address, Qassem rejected truce efforts led by the United States, saying that “only one thing will end this war, which is the battlefield.”
