The IDF publishes bodycam footage of troops operating in southern Lebanon as part of its “enhanced forward defense posture,” after Hezbollah began attacking Israel this month.

The military says that this week, troops of the 91st “Galilee” Regional Division carried out an overnight raid, during which infrastructure sites of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force were destroyed.

The IDF says it struck the Hezbollah sites with artillery and airstrikes.

The military has deployed troops deeper in southern Lebanon in the past week, saying it aims to “establish a forward defense that will create an additional security layer for the residents of the north.”
