According to Israel's military statement, the overnight strikes targeted five gas stations operated by the Al-Amana Fuel Company in southern Lebanon.

The military asserts that Al-Amana Fuel Company is controlled by Hezbollah and generates millions of dollars in profits.

These strikes represent an escalation in Israel's targeting of Hezbollah's economic infrastructure.

The operations coincide with broader Israeli military advances into Lebanese territory from multiple directions.

The strikes on gas stations are part of Israel's broader strategy to degrade Hezbollah's economic and military capabilities.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz explicitly warned that Lebanon would 'pay an increasing price in damage to Lebanese national infrastructure' as the conflict continues.

Israel claims that Hezbollah uses state facilities and economic infrastructure to support its military operations.

The military asserts that the Al-Amana Fuel Company constitutes 'fundamental economic infrastructure' that generates 'millions of dollars of profits' for Hezbollah.

This approach represents a shift in Israel's targeting strategy, moving beyond purely military objectives to economic infrastructure.

Beyond the gas station strikes, Israeli military operations have caused significant damage to Lebanon's civilian infrastructure.
