On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out a series of air and naval strikes against terrorist infrastructure in several regions of Lebanon
Among the targets was a command center of the Iranian Quds Force, specifically its Lebanon Corps, which acts as a direct link between Hezbollah and the Tehran regime, helping to strengthen and arm the terrorist group.
In addition, two Palestinian Islamic Jihad headquarters were struck, used by the organization’s leaders to make decisions and coordinate actions with Hezbollah.
The Israeli Navy also destroyed a Hezbollah observation post.
IDF spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin explained the objective of the operations: “We will not stop until we permanently remove the threat and eliminate the direct danger to Israeli communities.
That is why our troops are now acting by land, air, and sea.” He emphasized that disarming Hezbollah is a constant goal and that the intensified attacks are bringing Israel closer to that objective.
On the same day, the Israeli military released images of an attack that destroyed a Hezbollah rocket launcher from which shots were fired at northern Israel.
Shortly afterward, the army identified that another rocket launched by Hezbollah landed on a UN peacekeeping force (UNIFIL) post in the Al-Aadaissah region of southern Lebanon, injuring three UN soldiers, two of them seriously.
The IDF stated that the rocket’s trajectory makes it clear that the attack came from Hezbollah, which continues to endanger international forces in the area.
Since Hezbollah entered the current phase of the conflict about a month ago, in support of Iran, Israeli forces have struck more than 3,500 targets and eliminated about a thousand terrorists from the group.
The operations involve ground divisions operating in southern Lebanon to dismantle infrastructure, as well as air and naval strikes against weapons depots, launch sites, and command centers.
The stated objective of the IDF is to continue acting decisively to protect Israeli citizens and permanently weaken the terrorist capabilities of Hezbollah and its Iranian backers.
