The military says it razed 70 Hezbollah sites in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon following a raid by commando forces yesterday.

Troops of the Egoz commando unit raided the Aynata “casbah,” or fortified neighborhood, adjacent to Bint Jbeil, which the IDF describes as a Hezbollah “combat compound.” The troops located numerous weapons, including RPGs, assault rifles, grenades, anti-aircraft missiles, and other equipment.

Meanwhile, troops of the Maglan commando unit killed “numerous” Hezbollah operatives in the area, the army says.

“After the searches were completed, the forces destroyed approximately 70 terror infrastructures within just one minute,” the IDF says.
