The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed an airstrike in Lebanon's eastern Beqaa Valley targeting a Hezbollah precision missile manufacturing site, according to an IDF spokesman who published a record of the operation. The facility, located in the Jenaa area, has been targeted multiple times previously, with this incident marking the seventh or eighth attempt to address its rehabilitation, as its existence violates the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. In parallel, satellite imagery indicates Iran is expanding construction at a secret underground site near Natanz, known as "Pickaxe Mountain," following U.S.-Israeli strikes in June. Analysts suggest this facility, shielded deep within the Zagros mountains, may be used for covert uranium enrichment or stockpiling, according to The Washington Post. These developments occur as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to discuss Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs with U.S. President Donald Trump. An Israeli source indicated Iran's efforts to renew these programs would be a key focus of their meeting on Monday. Earlier on September 26th, 2025, Iran and Russia finalized a $25 billion agreement for Rosatom to construct four nuclear reactors in Iran, a deal previously announced this morning.
