The Israeli military says it has killed at least 800 Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.

They include hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, according to the IDF.

The Lebanese health ministry reported earlier today that at least 1,189 people in Lebanon have been killed in the fighting, a figure that doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Over the weekend, the IDF says it struck some 170 Hezbollah sites, as ground troops continue to operate in southern Lebanon.

The IDF says troops located weapons and killed dozens of Hezbollah operatives, including those who launched rockets at Israel and at forces, amid the weekend operations.
