The IDF says several Hezbollah operatives were killed amid recent ground operations in southern Lebanon, publishing footage of one of the incidents.

In the incident, several Hezbollah gunmen were identified by the 869th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit entering a building in southern Lebanon, and a short while later, an Israeli Air Force drone struck and killed them, the military says.

In another incident, the IDF says troops of the Givati Brigade spotted several Hezbollah operatives who attempted to plant explosive devices and launch mortars at troops.

“The soldiers on the ground opened fire and eliminated the terrorists,” the military says, adding that no troops were injured.

The Givati soldiers also located a cache of weapons, including dozens of anti-tank missiles, grenades, and other explosives, the army adds.
