One of those sites is a site for the production of precision missile components located in the Al-Lalichi neighborhood, located under four seven-story residential buildings that each house over 70 families.
There are two entrances to the site, and it is about 130 meters from a church and a medical center.
The second site uncovered by the IDF is a site for the production of precision missile components, but it is located in the Shuifat neighborhood, under five residential buildings where about 50 families live. About 90 meters from the site is an active mosque.
Both sites join in the discovery of a third site, which Netanyahu unveiled during the rally.
According to Netanyahu, at the site, near which two gas companies and a gas station are located, Hezbollah has a missile depot in the heart of the industrial area in the Al-Najah neighborhood.
"The next explosion in Lebanon could take place near the city's airport, where the plant is located," the prime minister said during his speech.
According to the IDF, the missile precision project was created as a result of cooperation between Hezbollah and Iran, and includes the conversion of existing rockets to precision missiles along with a complete production process of precision missiles through the establishment of production sites in Lebanon. " "Nationally, to intervene in what is happening in the country, and at the same time to allow the Lebanese population to defend themselves against the dangers involved in Hezbollah's establishment of Iran's mission in their country," the IDF spokesman said.
"The location of the sites for the production of precision missile components in the heart of the civilian population in the city of Beirut endangers the citizens of Lebanon in the first place.
"The State of Israel, and the IDF in particular, monitor these sites with a variety of capabilities and means, hold a great deal of information about the accuracy project and will continue to provide it with a broad operational response, using various methods and tools."
