A home in the southern Lebanon town of Houla, allegedly used by Hezbollah to observe Israeli forces, was demolished by IDF troops overnight, the military says.
According to the IDF, the home belonged to Ahmad Ghazi Ali, a Hezbollah operative killed in a drone strike in Houla a week ago.
“The structure was used by the Hezbollah terror organization for military activity, including attempts to gather intelligence on IDF troops,” the military says, adding that “the terrorists’ activity in the structure constituted a clear violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.”
The military says the demolition was carried out by the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade in a special operation.
Earlier today, two Hezbollah operatives were killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon.
