The IDF says that it has likely killed some 3,800 Hezbollah operatives during the fighting in Lebanon, including 2,762 killed during an Israeli ground offensive launched in late September. Thousands more operatives were wounded.
At least 44 Hezbollah operatives have been killed by the IDF since a ceasefire was reached, the army admits. It claims they violated the ceasefire by being present in southern Lebanon or at sites affiliated with Hezbollah.
The vast majority of Hezbollah’s senior command, 13 members, and former leader Hassan Nasrallah, were also killed by the IDF.
The IDF believes it has destroyed about 70% of Hezbollah’s “strategic weapons,” including long-range missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-ship missiles; and some 75% of its short-range rocket launchers.
Hezbollah is now in a position where it is unable to carry out any major attacks on Israel, according to the IDF’s assessments.
