More than 20 Hezbollah operatives were killed amid ground operations in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military says, APA reports, citing The Times of Israel.
According to the IDF, the operatives were killed by troops of the 36th Division and in strikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force.
In one incident, soldiers of the Golani Brigade identified a cell of Hezbollah operatives attempting to fire anti-tank missiles on the forces. The IDF says the troops killed five operatives in that incident.
The military says the ground troops also located numerous weapons, including RPGs and anti-tank missiles.
The 36th Division is one of four IDF divisions carrying out ground operations in southern Lebanon since Hezbollah began attacking Israel amid the war in Iran.
The IDF has been preparing to deploy even more forces in southern Lebanon and further expand its buffer zone to push away the threat of Hezbollah from the border.
