Terrorists at the sites were conducting firearms drills and additional training involving various weapons systems.
The strike eliminated a Hezbollah terrorist who also served in a Lebanese Army intelligence unit, as well as two additional terrorists.

The compound was used to coordinate local Hamas cells in Lebanon and to train terrorists in planning attacks against Israel.
Over the past week, IDF forces struck five Hezbollah targets and killed three terrorists in southern Lebanon.
Since the start of the month, twelve Hezbollah terrorists have been eliminated in IDF operations.

The IDF said the operations were based on precise intelligence and aimed at preventing Hezbollah from strengthening its positions along the border.
The 188th Brigade Combat Team, under the command of the 36th Division, identified and dismantled weapons warehouses, destroyed underground facilities, and neutralized Radwan Force anti-tank squads in southern Lebanon.
