The IDF’s 36th Division has raided over 150 Hezbollah sites and killed dozens of operatives during recent ground operations in southern Lebanon, the military says.
The division is operating in the western sector of southern Lebanon with the Golani Infantry Brigade, 188th Armored Brigade, the 282nd Artillery Regiment — which crossed into Lebanon for the first time in 24 years — and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit.
The IDF says the troops during their operations have located numerous weapons, rocket launchers, bunkers, and Hezbollah fighting positions that posed a threat to northern Israel.
The forces have also killed “a large number” of Hezbollah gunmen in close-quarters fighting and by calling in airstrikes, the military adds.
