Israeli airstrikes overnight in southern Lebanon destroyed engineering vehicles used by Hezbollah for infrastructure restoration, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in a statement shared on X this morning between 9:05 AM and 10:05 AM UTC. The IDF stated these vehicles amounted to tools for rebuilding terror infrastructure. These strikes follow earlier Israeli operations overnight on October 11th, 2025, targeting Hezbollah sites where heavy machinery was stored. Lebanese media reported between 6:05 AM and 9:05 AM UTC that approximately 300 vehicles, including bulldozers and excavators, were destroyed in more than 10 yards, resulting in one Syrian national killed and seven others wounded. The IDF previously announced strikes on Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure where engineering tools were stored, asserting that these activities violated understandings and endangered civilians. The operations aimed to disrupt Hezbollah's ongoing rehabilitation of terrorist infrastructure, with the IDF indicating continued action. Earlier reports from the early morning of October 11th, 2025, detailed ten Israeli strikes on six excavation yards along the Al-Msayleh road in southern Lebanon at approximately 4 AM UTC, which resulted in one civilian death and another injury. Fires from those strikes reportedly cut off the Al-Msayleh road, requiring the response of fire crews.
