[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... Liberation Movement — Transitional Council (SLM-TC), led by al-Hadi Idris, issued a statement denying reports that some of its forces had joined the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in South Darfur state.
The denial came in response to a video published on February 21 by the RSF showing a military leader claiming the SLM-TC’s forces had joined them.
The SLM-TC has condemned the war between the army and the paramilitary forces and declared its neutrality since the beginning of the war on April 15. The group repeatedly denied any intention of siding with any party in the conflict.
SLM-TC front man Abdelaziz Abdel Karim clarified that the individuals who declared their support for the RSF had previously cooperated with the SLM-TC in efforts to build peace in Darfur, particularly during the negotiations leading to the Juba Peace Agreement.
In statements to Sudan Tribune, he stressed that these individuals are not official members of the SLM-TC and that their actions do not represent the Movement.
SLM-TC leader al-Hadi Idris recently launched a campaign in North Darfur to open humanitarian access and called for a no-fly zone in the region as the Sudan Air Force bombs regularly RSF positions in the region, but also kills civilians.
The RSF currently controls four of the five Darfur states, while the Sudanese army maintains its main command in North Darfur’s capital, El Fasher.

Victoria and Biden have drawn down all tools needed to sustain any conflict for any length of time. I remember months ago they ran estimates of materials as they had no idea how much they had. Getting to the bottom of the barrel. I would say it would take a year out to even resupply to minimum levels. Especially high tech items(Ukrain has shown the reliability of high tech field equipment; go EV, right!). We do not have a wartime manufacturing economy. It will take some time just to refill national oil reserve.

Don’t forget that Israel is increasing their ability to transship from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, so as long as shippers get their stuff to Saudi Arabia, it all can be trucked through the desert to the Israeli border.
BREAKING: The U.S. and UK with support from coalition countries have carried out strikes on more than a dozen targets in 5 locations in Houthi controlled territories of Yemen. The targets include weapons storage facilities, drone & missile launchers, two U.S. officials said
American forces shot down three attack drones near fat merchantmen in the Red Sea on Friday and destroyed seven anti-ship cruise missiles positioned on land, the US military said.

Early on Friday, US forces "shot down three Houthi one-way attack [drones] near several fat merchantmen operating in the Red Sea. There was no damage to any ships," the Central Command (CENTCOM) said on social media.
In a statement later in the day, CENTCOM said US forces destroyed "seven Iranian-backed Houthi mobile anti-ship cruise missiles that were prepared to launch towards the Red Sea."
It said those strikes, carried out between 12:30 p.m. and 7:15 p.m. Sana’a time, were made in self-defense.
"CENTCOM forces identified these missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that they presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and to the US Navy ships in the region," it said in a statement.
The day prior, American forces struck four Houthi drones as well as two anti-ship cruise missiles, CENTCOM said, adding that the weapons "were prepared to launch from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen towards the Red Sea."

[Regnum] Seven anti-ship cruise missiles of the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) were destroyed by the US military in Yemen. The Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) announced this on February 24 on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
“Between 12:30 and 19:15 on February 23, CENTCOM destroyed seven mobile Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles that were ready to be launched towards the Red Sea,” the report said.
According to the US Central Command, the missiles were discovered in Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. The US military stressed that their actions were necessary in nature of defense, since mobile missile launchers posed a direct threat to US Navy ships and merchant ships in the region.
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that, according to the Yemeni Houthis, in 20 weeks since the beginning of the escalation of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Ansar Allah movement attacked 48 ships in the Red and Arabian Seas.
In addition, the Houthis sent a notice banning US, Israeli and UK ships and associated persons and companies from sailing through sea lanes near Yemen, in the Red and Arabian Seas, and in the Gulf of Aden.
After an attack by the Yemeni Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) on the British cargo ship Rubymar, an oil slick appeared in the Red Sea. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced this on February 23 on the X social network (formerly Twitter).
“On February 18 <...> the Houthis attacked the cargo ship Rubymar <...>. The unprovoked and reckless attack by <…> the Houthis caused significant damage to the ship, resulting in the formation of an 18-mile (about 29 km. - Ed.) oil slick,” CENTCOM said.
It is clarified that the cargo ship was carrying over 41 thousand tons of fertilizers, which is why an attack on it could provoke an environmental disaster.
As Regnum reported, on February 24, CENTCOM reported the destruction of seven Houthi missiles ready to launch in Yemen. The US military described its actions as necessary for defense.
The Ansar Allah movement issued a notice on February 23 banning US, Israeli and UK vessels, as well as persons and companies associated with them, from traveling through Yemen's sea lanes. The Houthis stressed that they had sent the message to shipping and insurance companies.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO) at the Navy reported on February 22 another attack on a ship off the coast of Yemen. The incident occurred at a distance of 70 nautical miles (about 130 km - Ed.) southeast of the port of Aden.
[IsraelTimes] Brooklyn resident charged with resisting arrest, obstruction and disorderly conduct; 19 demonstrators given summons at protest outside Schumer’s offices
Most of the street protests are led by the hardline pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime, which endorsed the October 7 attack and whose leadership has backed Hamas.
Twenty pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protesters led by an anti-Zionist Jewish group were detained on Thursday during rallies against pro-Israel politicians and AIPAC, the leading pro-Israel lobby. The protesters from the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace wore black shirts that said "Not in our name" and prayer shawls outside the Midtown offices of Sen. Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 48.22224 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... , the Senate majority leader who is Jewish, and Sen. Kristen Gillibrand. The senators, both Democrats, are supportive of Israel and voted in favor of a $14.1 billion emergency aid package for the country earlier this month. The bill still needs to win approval in the House.
The protesters carried banners that said "Jews to Schumer: Stop funding genocide" as they linked arms outside Schumer’s office.
The NYPD told the New York Jewish Week that 20 people were taken into custody during the protests. A Brooklyn resident was charged with resisting arrest, obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct, and 19 demonstrators were given summons for disorderly conduct.
Demonstrators also rallied at Midtown’s Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, near the offices of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, and the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... , carrying a banner that said "AIPAC funds genocide," holding signs that said "Dump AIPAC," and beating drums while chanting "Free Paleostine."
JVP claimed that thousands attended the demonstration.
How many were real rather than than their myriads of imaginary friends’n’lovers?
The International Court of Justice recently heard a case charging that Israel is committing genocide in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , a common accusation among pro-Paleostinian protesters. Israel firmly rejects the charge, saying that the Israel Defense Forces are acting against Hamas ...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... in self-defense, following its October 7 massacre, and working to avoid civilian casualties while Hamas puts noncombatants in harm’s way.
JVP shared photos on social media of graffiti plastered across the side of a building on 3rd Avenue that condemned AIPAC for supporting genocide and said "All eyes on Rafah," the southern Gaza city that Israel has threatened to invade in its battle to defeat Hamas across the coastal enclave.
The United States and other allies have called on Israel not to press ahead with its offensive on the city until it makes a plan for protecting the more than one million civilians who have taken shelter there.
"We demand our government listen to the will of the people and reject AIPAC as the bully boy warmongers they’ve always been," JVP said in a statement.
What will of the people? The vast majority of Americans support Israel over Hamas, unlike you and your Brownshirt friends.
A small group of pro-Israel counter-protesters also gathered at the scene holding Israeli and American flags. A survey last month by Siena College found that most Jews in New York support continued aid to Israel, while New Yorkers overall are split on the issue.
The protest was one of a string of anti-Israel demonstrations that have taken place on a near-daily basis on New York City streets since Hamas’s October 7 attack on southern Israel.
...and they will continue until the next NYC mayor starts throwing them in jail with serious sentences.
Most of the street protests are led by the hardline pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime, which endorsed the October 7 attack and whose leadership has backed Hamas. Within Our Lifetime on Thursday held a protest at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village opposing an event hosting Israeli soldiers.
The protests have snarled traffic and disrupted public events, drawing increased pushback from the police and city politicians.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Two US National Guard soldiers were killed in the crash of an AH-64 Apache helicopter in the US state of Mississippi. State Governor Tate Reeves announced this on February 23on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
It is clarified that the plane crash occurred on February 23 around 14:00 local time (23:00 Moscow time) in Prentiss County during a training flight. Reeves indicated that there were two military personnel on board the aircraft, both pilots did not survive.
At the same time, the National Guard in Mississippi noted on its page on the social network that the data on victims has not been confirmed. Specialists are working at the scene.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the head of the largest bank in Africa, Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, died with his family in a helicopter crash near the city of Nipton in the USA on February 11.
The Eurocopter EC130 helicopter crashed on the evening of February 9 near Holloran Springs Road in California. Everyone on board was killed: the pilot-in-command, the co-pilot and four passengers, including Wigwe, his wife and son.
A plane crash was also reported in California on the night of February 10, which killed six people. Four days earlier, on February 6, former Chilean President Sebastián Piñera was killed in a plane crash. The helicopter he was flying in fell into the lake.
[GEO.TV] Despite the passage of seven days, the services of social media giant X, formerly Twitter, remained suspended across Pakistain while the authorities have not offered any explanation for the outage.
The disruption began on Saturday last week. Thousands of Paks turn towards the Elon Musk-owned platform for quick dissemination of information, but they are unable to access it.
Despite Geo.tv's attempts to reach out to relevant authorities — including the Pakistain Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and ministers — no one has commented on the outage.
Global internet monitor, NetBlocks, said VPN services have also been restricted in the country causing difficulty for users in accessing the micro-blogging site.
"User reports indicate possible problems at X (Twitter)," said website tracker Downdetector.com.

[IsraelTimes] Police used water cannons against anti-government protesters while clashing with them in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, as demonstrators at a nearby rally calling for the return of hostages held in Gaza expressed rare optimism following reported progress in talks on a hostage deal with Hamas.
The clashes, the most violent of their kind since the outbreak of war on October 7, resulted in 21 arrests and several injuries Saturday night on Kaplan Street, opposite the Kirya army base, which is the headquarters of Israel’s defense establishment. The real enemy are not Arabs - Israel can teach Arabs the virtues of peace in a week. The real enemies - not just of Israel but of Humanity as a whole - are Tranzis with their suicidal ideology. Before the war, Israeli police refused to act against Tranzi collaborators. Glad to see that ended.
[IsraelTimes] Death of Maj. Eyal Shuminov, 24, takes army’s ground op toll to 238; visiting troops, IDF chief says military pressure is ’most effective’ action to bring about a hostage deal
Intense fighting continued over the weekend between Israeli troops and Paleostinian terror operatives throughout the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, including Khan Younis in the south, Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood in the north, and in the center of the Strip.
The Israel Defense Forces said many Hamas ...always the voice of sweet reason... button men had been killed over the past day in all three theaters of operations.
And on Saturday evening, the military announced the death of an officer killed during fighting in northern Gaza over the weekend, bringing the toll of slain troops in the ground offensive against Hamas to 238. He was named as Maj. Eyal Shuminov, 24, a company commander in the Givati Brigade’s Shaked Battalion, from Karmiel.
During a visit to northern Gaza, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said military pressure on Hamas was "the most effective" action to bring about a potential hostage deal with the terror group, as talks were held in Gay Paree on the latest proposals for an agreement.
"There is a connection between these things," he said during an assessment with officers. "Your achievements — another battalion dismantled, more underground infrastructure [demolished], another neighborhood where [Hamas] infrastructure is destroyed and the population is evacuated to safety — all these things are pushing us, I very much hope, toward achieving the release of hostages."
"This is a goal of war. We intend to do a great deal to realize it, and the fighting effort is the most effective action that helps those who are negotiating for the release of the hostages," Halevi added.
The IDF also released footage showing Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s and tank shelling of Hamas operatives during operations in the Strip.
In western Khan Younis, the IDF said, paratroopers located a Hamas weapons depot with a large number of bombs, mines, grenades, ammunition, rockets and other military equipment.
Troops of the IDF’s 7th Armored Brigade raided the home of a senior Hamas intelligence officer in Khan Younis, locating a tunnel shaft and weapons nearby, the military said. The tunnel was later destroyed. In the same area, the IDF said troops located a cache of mortars in repurposed bags from UN agency UNRWA, and other weapons and military equipment.
Amid the 7th Brigade’s operations in Khan Younis, the IDF said troops spotted eight Hamas operatives approaching them, before eliminating them with an Iron Sting guided mortar. It published footage of the strike.
Meanwhile, ...back at the desert island, Bert was realizing to his horror that he'd had only one bottle for one message, and he'd forgotten to include a return address... food is running out, with aid agencies saying they are unable to get into the area because of Israeli strikes, while the trucks that do try to get through face frenzied looting. Israel has defended its track record on allowing aid into Gaza, saying that nearly 14,000 trucks carrying relief supplies had entered the territory since the start of the war. Israel has also alleged that humanitarian organizations operating inside Gaza are failing to keep up with the pace, saying hundreds of trucks filled with aid sit idle on the Paleostinian side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing.
The UN, in turn, said it can’t always reach the trucks at the crossing because it is at times too dangerous.
Additionally, Israel has long accused Hamas of appropriating and stealing aid from an increasingly desperate civilian population.
According to an Axios report Saturday, the US has asked Israel to stop targeting Hamas coppers who are escorting aid convoys in Gaza. The report, citing three US and Israeli officials, comes after aid groups suspended deliveries to northern Gaza this week saying that the convoys were being overrun by hungry crowds. According to Axios, the Biden administration asked Israel to stop targeting members of the Hamas-run civilian police force, warning that a "total breakdown of law and order" is significantly exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the enclave. US officials say at least 11 Hamas coppers have been killed in Israeli strikes in recent weeks.
The report said Israel rebuffed the American request, telling the administration that a clear goal of the war was to end all Hamas control in Gaza and that Israel was working on alternative plans to ensure law and order.
Separate reports in Israel on Saturday indicated cautious optimism on the prospects of reaching a temporary truce and hostage release deal with Hamas that would see a pause in the fighting more than three months after the previous halt in late November in which over 100 hostages were freed. Channel 12 reported that war cabinet ministers were to vote by phone later on whether to endorse an outline proposed by international mediators in Gay Paree for a hostages-for-truce outline. It said the deal apparently provides, in a first phase, for the release of some 40 hostages in return for the release of hundreds of Paleostinian security prisoners and a truce of some 6 weeks. These would be mostly female, elderly and ill hostages.
The Hamas-run health ministry says nearly 30,000 Paleostinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7. These figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between civilians and terror operatives, or those killed by Hamas’s own rockets that went kaboom! in the Strip. The IDF says it has killed some 12,000 terror operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 snuffies inside Israel on October 7.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Paleostinian Ministry of Health in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

In its daily statistical report on the number of deaders and injuries due to the ongoing Zionist aggression on the 140th day in the Gaza Strip, the ministry stated that the enemy committed 10 massacres against families in the sector, resulting in 104 deaders and 160 injuries.
The ministry pointed out that some victims are still under the rubble, and the enemy prevents the arrival of ambulance and civil defense crews to reach them.
The ministry also announced an increase in the toll of the continuous Zionist aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip since October 7th to 29,514 deaders and 69,616 injuries.

[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] A bigwig with the Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... says the United States carries out reconnaissance missions over the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip to help out the Israeli regime’s ongoing genocidal war against the territory.
American aircraft conduct flying operations over the coastal sliver to provide the regime with intelligence that would assist it in continuing to wage the military onslaught, Osama Hamdan, Hamas’ senior representative in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , said during a press briefing in Beirut on Friday.
The official did not specify the type of the aircraft, but the US is known for flying unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones, around the world in the service of its intelligence gathering operations.
The US has been contributing ample political and military support to the Israeli military onslaught that the regime began against Gaza on October 7, 2023 following al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise operation staged by the coastal sliver’s resistance movements.
The American administration has so far vetoed three United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Security Council resolutions that have called for immediate cessation of the Israeli aggression.
Washington has also armed Tel Aviv with more than 10,000 tons of military hardware since the onset of the warfare.
Hamdan said the Israeli regime would not be able to continue the war — which has so far killed 29,514 people, mostly women and kiddies — without support on the part of Washington, Tel Aviv’s main ally.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Hamdan urged taking place of an independent investigation into a recent UN report revealing multiple forms of abuse by Israeli forces against Paleostinian women and kiddies in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
He slammed the West’s silence concerning the regime’s reported violation of the rights of kidnapped Paleostinian women.
The Hamas’ envoy, meanwhile, said the "terrorist administration" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seeking to prolong the war to help the premier escape his legal woes.
Netanyahu is being tried on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
Hamdan, however, asserted that the regime would not be able to secure the release of the captives, who are being held by Hamas since Operation al-Aqsa Storm, through the use of force.
Hamas has repeatedly asserted that it would not release the captive unless in the case of complete cessation of the Israeli regime’s aggression.

Unlike Racist Terrorist Groups that attack, rape, torture, mutilate and eventually kill a Hostage. Civilized Nations like Israel, and most of the US Gov. just find them and kill them.
So may KARMA visit those supporting HAMAS and other Racist Terrorist groups. So they may personally experience what they blindly support.
[AFRICANEWS] Mourners held funeral prayers Saturday morning outside al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza for the 25 people, including a baby, killed in a wave of devastating Israeli bombing the previous day.
Relatives lined up behind the bodies of the dead which were wrapped in white burial sheets, according to an Associated Press journalist.
A mother held her baby, killed in the airstrikes, in her arms and wept.
The bodies were taken for burial after funeral prayer.
Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed more than 29,600 since the start of the war, around two-thirds of them women and children, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
More than 69,000 Palestinians have been wounded, overwhelming the territory’s hospitals, less than half of which are even partially functioning.
This week, the US vetoed another draft resolution calling for a ceasefire, the third since October

[IsraelTimes] Rockets fired at Kiryat Shmona knocked down by Iron Dome; IDF says it targeted terror group arms depot site after seeing operatives go inside
Air defenses intercepted rockets shot at towns near the restive northern border and a fighter jet shot down a drone heading into Israel as fighting along Israel’s northern border showed no sign of slowing Saturday.
A number of rockets were fired from Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... toward Kiryat Shmona and surrounding areas late Saturday, with the Iron Dome air defense system successfully swatting away much of the barrage, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The attack came about two hours after the IDF carried out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on Hezbollah targets in south Lebanon, including a weapons depot where a cell of operatives were gathered, the military said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack on Kiryat Shmona, which has been repeatedly rocked by projectiles launched from across the nearby border. The city, like most towns along the northern border in the Galilee, has been largely evacuated of civilians.
Throughout the day rockets were also fired from Lebanon at Arab al-Aramshe, Hanita, and the Mount Dov area. There are no reports of damage or injuries.

The IDF has responded to the attacks while also increasingly taking the initiative, striking deeper into Lebanon, as it vows it will not accept Hezbollah’s presence along the border where the conflict has displaced tens of thousands of people from northern communities.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, has appeared to step up its use of armed drones, seemingly launching several into Israel in recent days.
Drone alerts went off in several towns in northern Israel Saturday morning and again in the early afternoon. The military said following the second alert that a "suspicious aerial target" that was heading toward Israeli airspace from Lebanon was downed by a fighter jet in Lebanese airspace. The first alert was apparently a false alarm.
An Israeli fighter jet also struck a Hezbollah weapons depot in the southern Lebanese village of Matmoura after spotting a group of operatives entering the building, the IDF said.
The military noted there were significant secondary explosions after the initial strike indicating that weapons were located inside, and released a video of the bombing.
Fighter jets also struck several more buildings used by Hezbollah in Rab el-Thalathine, Ayta ash-Shab, and Blida, the IDF said.
The army said it also targeted a command center belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force in Baraachit, and rocket launching sites and other infrastructure in Jabal Blat.
Troops also shelled areas near Rachaya al-Foukhar with artillery to "remove threats," the IDF added.
Hezbollah claimed attacks throughout Saturday. There were no reports of casualties by the terror group or in the Lebanese press.
Since October 8, Hezbollah-led forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the border on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.
Israel has warned it can no longer tolerate Hezbollah’s presence along its border and has warned that should a diplomatic solution not be reached, it will turn to military action to push Hezbollah northward.
So far, the skirmishes on the Lebanese border have resulted in six civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists. There have also been several attacks from Syria, without any injuries.
Foreign Minister Israel Katz warned the UN on Friday that if the global body, which has a peacekeeping force deployed along the Lebanese side of the border, does not act against Hezbollah then Israel will take matters into its own hands.
Hezbollah has named 211 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 32 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.
French, US, and other officials have been attempting for months to tamp down the possibility of any escalation along Israel’s northern border, but no breakthroughs appear to be on the horizon.
[An Nahar] The health ministry condemned Friday the "direct" attack on a civilian health center, after two paramedics affiliated with Hezbollah and one of the group's fighters were killed in an Israeli strike on the southern border town of Blida.
The ministry called on the international community to hold Israel to account for its "dangerous violations".

The Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Committee said two of its paramedics were killed in a "direct" Israeli attack on a civil defense centre in Blida, while Hezbollah also announced the death of one of its fighters.
The Islamic Health Committee said the attack caused "the destruction of the health centre as well as a number of ambulances".
In retaliation, Hezbollah said it launched a drone attack on northern Israel on Friday, after also announcing rocket fire the night before.
Since October, at least 276 people have been killed on the Lebanese side, most of them Hezbollah fighters but also including 44 civilians, according to an AFP tally.
On the Israeli side, 10 soldiers and six civilians have been killed, according to the Israeli army.

Two medics killed? I think we should get a second opinion. After all, the Health Ministry is hardly a disinterested party when it comes to medics.
Also, were they riding in an 'ambulance' at the time of their demise?
