The IDF says it has targeted some 4,500 Hezbollah targets, mostly in Lebanon but also in Syria, amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip which began on October 7.
According to the IDF’s estimates, more than 300 Hezbollah operatives have been killed, including five senior commanders, and another 750 have been wounded by Israel’s strikes.
Over the past five months, the Northern Command has led strikes from the air against more than 1,200 targets and another 3,100 sites from the ground using artillery and tanks, the IDF says.
The targets include weapons depots, buildings used by Hezbollah for attacks, more than 150 observation posts along the border, some 70 command centers where terror operatives were gathered, more than 50 significant rocket launching positions, and dozens of squads carrying out anti-tank missile attacks, the IDF says.
More than 450 sites belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, which is believed by Israel to be tasked with potentially infiltrating into Israel, were also hit, the IDF says.
The IDF notes that some of the 4,500 Hezbollah targets were struck in Syria.
The IDF says its “intense strikes” against Hezbollah are causing damage to the terror group’s “air and ground capabilities as well as its top command.”
“The IDF is constantly working to push Hezbollah’s forces and its systems out of southern Lebanon, and has carried out significant attacks in this area,” the military says.
Recently, the IDF has also stepped up attacks in northeastern Lebanon’s Baalbek, a Hezbollah stronghold.
The IDF says it is also “well aware of the great and ongoing difficulty of the residents of the north” who have been displaced due to Hezbollah’s daily attacks.
It says the military “appreciates the resilience that the residents demonstrate” and is “committed to continuing to operate” to restore security.
IDF confirms airstrikes in northeast Lebanon, says two Hezbollah command centers hit
The IDF confirms carrying out additional airstrikes in the Baalbek area in northeastern Lebanon, targeting what it says are two Hezbollah command centers.
“Hezbollah used these sites to store significant assets used to strengthen its weapons arsenal,” the IDF says.
The strikes were carried out in response to a barrage of some 100 rockets on northern Israel earlier today.
The IDF also says it targeted a building used by Hezbollah in Khiam and additional infrastructure in Bint Jbeil earlier. It publishes footage of those strikes.
Hezbollah threatens strong response to Israeli airstrikes in Baalbek
Hezbollah threatens a “stronger” response to earlier Israeli strikes in the Baalbek area in northeastern Lebanon, where the military targeted what it says were two Hezbollah command centers.
Those strikes came in response to a barrage of some 100 rockets fired from Lebanon on northern Israel earlier today.
“Hezbollah will not be silent about the Israeli attacks,” a source with the Iran-backed terror group tells the London-based publication The New Arab, also known as Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. “The response will be the same and stronger.”
“All options are open and Hezbollah is prepared and ready for any expansion” of hostilities,” the source says.
