“The Lebanon Corp connects the Hezbollah terrorist organization and the Iranian terror regime, supports Hezbollah force-building, and functions as the connection between senior IRGC personnel and Hezbollah leadership,” the statement explained.
“The Iranian terror regime operates systemically in the heart of the civilian population in Iran and Lebanon, cynically exploiting the civilian population as human shields to advance terror attacks,” it added.
The IDF said “steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munition and aerial surveillance,” before the strike, which reportedly targeted the Ramada Hotel in central Beirut.
