IDF: Some 60 Hezbollah operatives killed, 200 targets struck in Lebanon in past day

The IDF says that in the past day, some 60 Hezbollah operatives were killed and more than 200 targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force, amid ground operations in southern Lebanon.

Overnight, some 15 Hezbollah operatives holed up at the town hall of southern Lebanon’s Bint Jbeil were killed in an Israeli airstrike, the military says.

According to IDF, fighter jets struck the Bint Jbeil town hall in a joint operation with the 36th Division, after several several Hezbollah operatives were identified there.

The military says that the building was used by Hezbollah to store weapons, and at least 15 terror operatives were killed in the strike.

In another joint operation, an IAF drone struck and killed a cell of Hezbollah operatives who were identified by troops of the 36th Division launching rockets at Israel, the IDF says.

This morning, two Hezbollah operatives opened fire at Golani soldiers in southern Lebanon, and a short while later, artillery forces identified the pair and directed an IAF drone to strike and kill them. No soldiers were hurt in the incident, according to the IDF.

In a separate joint operation with the 98th Division, several Hezbollah operatives who launched missiles at the Ramim Ridge area yesterday were killed in a strike carried out by IAF fighter jets, the military says.

Fighter jets also struck some 200 other Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon in the past day, including buildings used by the terror group, operatives, weapon depots, observation posts, and other infrastructure, the IDF says.
