IAF busts bunker believed to shield Nasrallah and top terror leaders


Would they be using the bunker-buster bombs we sold them a couple of years back?

Israelinsider: security: IAF busts bunker believed to shield Nasrallah and top terror leaders:

The Israeli military said warplanes dropped 23 tons of explosives late Wednesday on a south Beirut bunker where top Hezbollah figures, possibly including leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, were thought to be hiding.

Three unusally large explosions rattled south Beirut shortly after sunset, a time when Israeli strikes have hit in past days.

Early Thursday the Israeli military said its warplanes dropped bombs hours earlier on a bunker in south Beirut where senior Hezbollah leaders were thought to be.

IDF officials told Ynet that dozens of Air Force fighter jets participated in the massive air strike on a south Beirut target, acting on IDF intelligence.

Intelligence stating that Nasrallah was staying in the bunker was received Wednesday night, and numerous IDF jets were dispatched to the place shortly after. Following a brief discussion, IDF officials decided that the information was credible enough to warrant a massive bombardment on the structure.
