IDF pounds Beirut suburbs with waves of airstrikes, hits Hezbollah headquarters

Nov. 16 (UPI) -- The Israeli military continued an intense wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs on Saturday, including an attack on the militant group's headquarters in the Dahiya area.

The Israel Defense Forces said it unleashed eight separate waves of strikes against Hezbollah installations south of Beirut beginning Friday morning and continuing through late Saturday, targeting what it said were military sites that had been "deliberately placed by Hezbollah in the heart of the civilian population."
