Five Hezbollah anti-tank missile operatives were killed in an Israeli strike in the southern Lebanese village of Bint Jbeil earlier this week, the military says.

The IDF says it struck two command centers in the village that had been used by Hezbollah’s anti-tank unit, amid operations by troops of the 91st “Galilee” Regional Division in the area.

In one of the strikes, five members of the Hezbollah anti-tank unit were killed, the army says.

In additional strikes last night, the military says, it struck several more Hezbollah sites in the area, including anti-tank missile launch posts.
