The Israel Defense Forces published footage of airstrikes targeting eight military compounds belonging to Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force in eastern Lebanon's Beqaa Valley during the 29-minute reporting window from 5:46:03 PM to 6:15:53 PM UTC on February 26, 2026, according to the IDF Spokesperson's Unit as reported by Mannie Fabian on X. The Israeli Air Force struck the sites used for weapons storage including rockets and Radwan Force training for planned attacks against Israel. The IDF stated the sites stored numerous weapons including rockets and served for shooting drills and terrorist plot planning, violating Israel-Lebanon ceasefire understandings and posing a threat to Israel. Hezbollah's rearmament attempts at the compounds prompted the strikes, with the military affirming continued action to prevent such activities. This footage release follows the IDF's confirmation earlier today of the strikes on the Baalbek region camps. No casualty or additional damage details were provided in the new sources. Separately, Israeli journalist Michael Shemesh was arrested on suspicion of sodomy of a minor, Ayala Hasson, as reported in Hebrew media, though no timing within the reporting window was specified.
