The IDF releases new footage of the 98th Division operating in southern Lebanon, since launching a ground operation there on Monday night.
The military says the division has been engaged in close-quarters combat with Hezbollah operatives, as well as directing airstrikes on gunmen and the terror group’s positions.
In one recent operation, the division’s Egoz commando unit destroyed a Hezbollah position, including a rocket launcher and a cache of explosives, according to the IDF.
More than 150 Hezbollah sites have been hit by the Israeli Air Force amid the operations, the military adds.
In a statement, Hezbollah says its fighters are clashing with Israeli forces entering the border town of Maroun Al-Ras.
