IDF soldiers continued to operate in recent weeks in both the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon, including locating and destroying terror infrastructure and eliminating terrorists, the military said on Thursday morning.
Over the past two weeks, the Israel Air Force struck over 100 terror targets in Gaza and Lebanon, which specifically targeted weapons storage facilities, launchers, command centers, and terrorist infrastructure. Over 140 Hezbollah rocket launchers were destroyed, and over 200 Hezbollah terrorists were eliminated, the IDF said.
In recent days, soldiers located and dismantled rocket launchers, anti-tank missile launchers, terrorist infrastructure, and stockpiles of explosives in southern Lebanon. The IDF said that it struck and destroyed over 140 Hezbollah rocket launchers in southern Lebanon, several of which were aimed at Israeli territory.
Among the launchers struck was a launcher from which rockets were fired toward the Western Galilee on Wednesday evening and launchers that fired rockets toward central Israel on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The IAF also struck and eliminated a battalion of Hezbollah Radwan operations commanders and anti-tank missile commanders in the Lebanese coastal region. A Radwan company commander was also eliminated, the IDF noted.
Operations in Gaza
While operating in southern Lebanon, the IDF also continued to operate against terrorists in Gaza, specifically in the Jabalya and Beit Lahia areas, the military noted.
Soldiers located weapons and eliminated terrorists in the area from the air and on the ground.
