Since the beginning of the ground operation in Lebanon in September, the IDF has killed about 1,200 Hezbollah fighters, bringing the total number of Hezbollah fighters killed to approximately 2,000 since the war began.

Additionally, the IDF estimates that Hezbollah's firepower is now at only 30% of what it was once on October 8 of last year - when the Lebanon-based organization began firing rockets into Israel's north.

Around the same time as the assessment of Hezbollah was published, the IDF issued another statement of their operations against the Hezbollah terrorist organization since the beginning of the war.

Seven brigade commanders, 21 battalion commanders, and 24 company commanders belonging to the terrorist organization have been eliminated so far.

The military has struck approximately 3,200 Hezbollah targets during the war, which includes hundreds of weapons depots, launchers, anti-tank positions, terror infrastructures, and command headquarters.
