TLDR

  • The Israeli Air Force conducted strikes against Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon.
  • The military reported discovering multiple weapons caches belonging to Hezbollah in the region over the past week.
  • The IDF also targeted Hezbollah infrastructure sites and engaged in retaliatory strikes following rocket fire towards Israeli soldiers.

The Israeli Air Force has once again demonstrated its decisive capability in neutralizing threats emanating from Lebanon. In a swift response to Hezbollah terrorists actively transporting weapons near our soldiers, the IAF delivered precise strikes, ensuring the safety of our forces on the ground. This action is part of a broader, ongoing effort to degrade Hezbollah's military infrastructure. Over the past week alone, the IDF has discovered and secured over 100 weapons caches in southern Lebanon, including rockets and various rifles, underscoring the persistent danger posed by the terror group. These discoveries, coupled with targeted strikes on over 50 Hezbollah sites, including command centers, highlight the constant vigilance required to protect our northern border. While Hezbollah may launch rockets sporadically, Israel's response is comprehensive, aimed at dismantling their terror apparatus and preventing future attacks. The security of our citizens remains paramount, and the IDF will continue to act with determination against any entity threatening our nation.

The Air Force killed Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon after they were seen transporting weapons in a vehicle near IDF soldiers, the military said on Sunday.
