The IDF says that troops entered the Mount Dov area in southern Lebanon overnight and destroyed several positions previously used by Hezbollah.
According to the military, the operation followed months of observation and reconnaissance in the area.
The IDF says the operation was carried out by the 810th Mountain Regional Brigade, under the 210th “Bashan” Regional Division.
Mount Dov, also known as the Sheba Farms, is a contested area claimed by Israel, Lebanon and Syria.
The IDF also says it carried out an airstrike earlier today on a site in southern Lebanon used by Hezbollah to produce materials supporting the organization’s reconstruction and terrorist operations.
The IDF claims that the presence of the production site constitutes a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.
