IDF Northern Command chief says 750 Hezbollah operatives killed in renewed fighting

The chief of the IDF Northern Command, Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo, says the military has killed more than 750 Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.

“We have expanded the ground operation one step further to widen the security zone. We are operating according to an organized plan to strike and push back the enemy and to distance the threat for better protection of the residents of the north,” Milo says during an assessment in southern Lebanon.

“So far, we have eliminated more than 750 terrorists, destroyed infrastructure throughout Lebanon, and we continue the deep strikes against the organization’s centers of gravity. We are applying pressure on Hezbollah, pushing it northward and destroying its capabilities,” he says, according to remarks provided by the IDF.
