Since the start of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the IDF says it has killed some 25 Hezbollah operatives who were violating the truce.
Several dozen Hezbollah positions were also hit since the ceasefire took effect. Under the agreement, Hezbollah must withdraw from southern Lebanon.
The IDF is still deployed to southern Lebanon, and it has until late January to withdraw under the ceasefire deal. During that time, the Lebanese army will gradually take responsibility for southern Lebanon and an American-led committee that will adjudicate complaints regarding potential ceasefire violations will be established.
