At least 15 branches of the bank-like institution Al-Qard Al-Hasan have been hit in southern Beirut.
Israel says it will carry out more strikes against a Hezbollah-run financial institution in Lebanon which it says uses customers’ deposits to finance attacks against the Jewish state.
The Arabic language spokesman for the Israeli military, Avichay Adraee, said that Hezbollah stored hundreds of millions of dollars in the institution’s branches and that the money was used to purchase arms and pay fighters. The strikes were aimed at preventing the group from rearming, he said. Documents of Hezbollah-run Al-Qard Al-Hassan are scattered at the site of an Israeli airstrike on Sunday night in Beirut’s southern suburbs, Lebanon.Israeli ground forces invaded Lebanon earlier this month. The military says it aims to push Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon so that tens of thousands of Israelis can return to their homes nearby after more than a year of cross-border rocket and drone attacks.
Israeli airstrikes killed 17 people in Lebanon on Monday, including four first responders, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The Israeli military said Hezbollah fired 170 projectiles into Israel on Monday.
