Marking a year since the military’s offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, the IDF releases new footage from the ground operations in the south of the country.
According to the IDF, five divisions operated in over 30 villages in southern Lebanon, killing Hezbollah operatives and dismantling the terror group’s infrastructure.
The offensive ended with a ceasefire agreement in November 2024, which has been in effect since, despite continued IDF presence at five posts in southern Lebanon and attacks on Hezbollah operatives accused of violating the terms of the truce by trying to rebuild the terror group’s infrastructure.
Since the ceasefire, the IDF says it has killed over 300 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, hit hundreds of Hezbollah sites, and conducted over 1,000 raids and other small operations in southern Lebanon.
