The IDF struck and dismantled Hezbollah missile launchers in southern Lebanon, the military announced in a statement Tuesday evening. 

The terror group used the launchers in its latest barrage against Israel, which left three people, including a 6-year-old child, injured.

The military is continuing to locate and strike additional launchers, added the statement.

In addition, the IDF launched two separate strikes in the Beirut area early Wednesday morning, killing a senior Hezbollah commander and an additional senior terrorist, according to a military statement.
