Lebanon strikes targeted elite Hezbollah unit’s weapons caches — IDF

The IDF says its strikes in southern Lebanon this evening targeted several weapon depots belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force.

“The Hezbollah terror organization continues its attempts to restore terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon, especially the Radwan unit with the aim of harming the State of Israel,” the military says in a statement.

The IDF says Hezbollah’s efforts to restore the Radwan Force, which suffered heavy losses in Israeli strikes in Lebanon during the war last year, are a violation of the ceasefire.

“IDF troops have been operating over the past two years against the unit’s attempts to recover and rebuild its strength,” the military says.

The strikes today were carried out in two main waves, following evacuation warnings to residents of five villages: Mays al-Jabal, Kfar Tebnit, Dibbin, Chehabiyeh and Burj Qalaouiyah.

Since the November 2024 ceasefire, the IDF says it has killed over 300 Hezbollah operatives in strikes in Lebanon, saying they were violating the terms of the truce.
