The Israel Defense Forces struck an underground site used to store Hezbollah combat weapons in Lebanon on January 11, 2026, IDF Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee announced in a statement posted on X during the 28-minute reporting window from 6:47 PM to 7:15 PM UTC, responding to violations by the terrorist organization. The site was first attacked about a week ago after the IDF warned the Lebanese Army of Hezbollah terrorist activity there, according to Adraee. Lebanese Army forces inspected the location but did not fully dismantle the terrorist infrastructure, prompting the IDF to strike it again today. Prior to the strike, the IDF issued advance warning messages to area residents to reduce the risk of harming civilians, as detailed in the official statement. Adraee noted the strike followed earlier IDF raids today targeting tunnel openings for storing combat means in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah's use of these sites violates Israeli-Lebanese understandings and threatens Israel, with the IDF stating it will continue operations to remove such threats.
