Our forces struck targets in Southern Lebanon today (Thursday), hitting infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization. Targets included weapons depots, a command headquarters, and additional terror infrastructure.
The strikes, which continued for roughly 24 hours, came in response to yesterday’s incident in which Major (res.) Harel Birenstock and Master Sergeant (res.) Tamir Vaknin fell in action. Additionally, four IDF soldiers were severely injured in the incident resulting from an explosion in the Majdal Zoun area. The strikes focused on Hezbollah terror infrastructure across Southern Lebanon, targeting weapons storage facilities, command centers, and other key sites.
As a reminder, security officials emphasized that this targeted wave of strikes began in response to ceasefire violations by the Hezbollah terror organization, set against a backdrop of recent incidents breaching existing agreements. Just several days ago, the IDF confirmed that Hezbollah launched an explosive drone toward an engineering vehicle belonging to our forces in the Ali Taher ridge area—an incident that ended without casualties but represented a blatant violation of understandings.
