\r\nThe Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that, during Operation Roaring Lion, more than 1,800 members of the Hezbollah terrorist group were eliminated<\/strong><\/p>

The operation began on February 28 with joint US-Israeli air strikes against Iran and ended on April 7 after a 14-day ceasefire negotiated between Washington and Tehran.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nLebanon-based Hezbollah entered the conflict on March 2nd to support Iran, violating a US-brokered ceasefire agreement from November 2024. This agreement had ended more than a year of fighting, which began after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nOn the eve of the ceasefire, Israeli troops carried out intense attacks, eliminating more than 150 Hezbollah operatives and destroying approximately 300 terrorist targets, including rocket launchers, command centers, and weapons depots in various regions of Lebanon.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nAmong the dead was Ali Rida Abbas, commander of Hezbollah’s Bint Jbeil sector.<\/p>

\r\nAccording to the IDF, Abbas planned and executed numerous attacks against Israeli soldiers and the Israeli civilian population over the years, especially during this operation.<\/p>

\r\nHe was the fourth commander from that region to be eliminated by Israeli forces since the start of Operation Northern Arrows in September 2024.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe Israel Defense Forces stated that they will continue to act to eliminate any threat to the country’s citizens and soldiers.<\/p>

\r\nA separate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, announced by President Donald Trump, also came into effect.
