Over 20 Hezbollah terrorists were killed and dozens of the terror group's sites were destroyed during IDF operations in southern Lebanon in the past 24 hours, the military said on Thursday morning.
In one incident on Wednesday, troops from the IDF's Golani Brigade noticed a group of terrorists attempting to launch anti-tank missiles toward them.
The soldiers returned fire, killing five, while another three were killed in an airstrike by the Israel Air Force (IAF).
Additionally, the IDF located and confiscated several weapons, including RPGs, anti-tank rockets, ammunition, a hunting rifle, and other military equipment.
"The IDF will continue to operate with determination against the Hezbollah terrorist organization, which chose to join the war and operate under the sponsorship of the Iranian terror regime. The IDF will not allow harm to Israeli civilians," the military said.
IDF eliminates Imam Hussein Division Commander
Earlier this week, the IDF also said it had killed the commander of the “Imam Hussein Division” in Beirut, a week after taking out his predecessor.
Hassan Ali Marwan was responsible for the division’s operations and had been appointed its commander following the elimination of the former commander, Ali Maslam Tabajeh, along with his deputy, Jihad al-Safira, and several other senior operatives.
In his position, Marwan had commanded the launch of missiles, UAVs, and rockets toward Israel and IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon.
This is a developing story.
