Escalating Threats from Hezbollah
Hezbollah continues to launch significant rocket barrages against central and northern Israel while the IDF is working to dismantle the group's financial networks. Recent reports indicate that the IDF has declassified intelligence revealing a bunker hidden beneath a hospital in South Beirut, containing large sums of cash and gold, underscoring the complexities faced in targeting Hezbollah's operations.
