A Hezbollah field commander was killed in a recent airstrike in southern Lebanon amid ground operations by the Golani Infantry Brigade, the military says.
The IDF releases new footage of Golani soldiers operating in southern Lebanon, under the 36th Division.
In a joint operation with the Israeli Air Force, the military says a building in southern Lebanon in the area where the Golani soldiers were operating, was struck.
The strike killed the commander of Hezbollah’s regional unit in the area, and other top field officers. The IDF does not specify which area of southern Lebanon the incident took place, due to operational security concerns.
Other airstrikes were carried out against Hezbollah operatives spotted by Golani soldiers in the same area, the IDF says.
The Golani troops also located several weapons and equipment during the operations, the military adds.
